Harrogate district adorned in poppies as Remembrance Sunday approaches
The Harrogate district has been adorned in poppies in the lead up to this weekend's Remembrance Day.
Scores of poppies have been put up in Ripon, Harrogate, Knaresborough, Pateley Bridge, Boroughbridge and Masham and in villages in between in honour of the fallen.
Bilton Community Centre is among the organisations to mark remembrance with a wall display.
Neil and Sonya Milsted Funeral Directors, which is based on Hookstone Chase, has created a display in the shape of a poppy featuring old photographs of servicemen.
Meanwhile, Ripon Spa Gardens and Knaresborough Station are also adorned in poppies ahead of Sunday.
Remembrance services will be held across the district this coming weekend. You can read a list of the commemorations here.
