A permanent tribute to fallen servicemen and women has been unveiled at Radius on Crewe Business Park.

The handcrafted granite poppy was unveiled in the Radius Remembrance Garden, fronting its 52,697 sq. ft building, Emperor Way, on Tuesday 10 November.

The memorial was generously donated by Oxley's and the Royal British Legion (RBL) and is one of just 11 created by Oxley's master stonemasons.

Its design was inspired by the iconic large poppy monument in Crewe's Memorial Square.

Radius' Head of Hospitality, Natalie Hand, officially unveiled the tribute during a Service of Dedication and Remembrance attended by company directors, Mayor of Crewe, Stuart Mackay, and representatives of the Royal British Legion.

The Last Post and Reveille were played as those attending fell silent to remember the fallen.
