The crowning glory of Ripon’s non-stop knitters
Ripon’s tireless team of non-stop knitters has transformed the city centre into Coronation Street with their skill and ingenuity.
The behind the scenes needle workers of Ripon Community Poppy Project are adept at creating handmade designs for all occasions, from Remembrance events to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and now, in celebration of her son’s crowning glory at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
Within hours of taking down their Easter display, the King Charles III banners and bunting were put in place in High Skellgate, then on railings, the town hall balconies, bollards and on the post box at the entrance to The Arcade.
You can take a look at some of their creations below.
