Aylesbury Yarn Bombers' touching tribute in town centre

You may have noticed Aylesbury's Market Square has been covered with knitted and crocheted Poppys to highlight Remembrance tomorrow. (11/11)

The Aylesbury Yarn Bombers are responsible for the creative splash of colour.

Heres Sue, from the club, telling us more about the installation and the Poppys:

"They're wrapped around the trees some of the trees and even covering the post box, it's something we felt had meaning to all members of our community, and by choosing to use all four colours of poppy we have hopefully achieved that."

She also told us about how the Aylesbury Yarn Bombers started, and how they got to this point:

"We started back in the summer and contacted the Aylesbury Town partnership, [they] were keen for us to create a display in Market Square. In June we had crocheted and knitted fabric flowers, and as a result we were joined by lots of new members and were able to create a much larger installation for remembrance this November." 

Anyone can join the Aylesbury Yarn Bombers, you can check them out on their Facebook page.
