Littlehampton poppy display ‘shows how much we care’

Funeral director Ashley Rendell, the new branch manager at H.D. Tribe in Surrey Street, Littlehampton, arranged the display to show how much people care about the sacrifices made.

He said: “We are living in some weird and wonderful times at present. Thinking of Remembrance Day and to show our support, I contacted a couple of local schools and we agreed that we wanted to do something to show our support, love and care to everyone who sacrificed so much for us.

“I have a large window display and I asked the Littlehampton schools if they would kindly colour a picture of a poppy flower in for me, so I have loads of bright poppies to show we care and are extremely grateful for everything they did.”

Littlehampton mayor David Chace visited on Wednesday to see the display. He said it was a lovely tribute by the young children.
