We first put up our Remembrance Poppy Display during the 2020 November Lockdown, when it looked like Remembrance events would not be allowed. We asked people to put a poppy on the netting at the Farm Gate so we could all remember in the traditional manner. An historic event in its own right !!

This year, we’ve taken all the donated poppies from the last two years and repurposed them in a new 2022 centenary display. This year we especially remember that it is 100 years since the the Guiseley Branch of the Royal British Legion was formed after a meeting at the Town Hall on 17th November 1922 with the aim of providing support to ex servicemen and women and their families.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the display, most notably Barbara Winfield, Becky James, Abi James, Eleanor Thomson, Vivien Hornsby-Smith and Jennifer Kirkby. If anyone who donated poppies has been missed please tell us in the comments (some of the handiwork is unknown).
