Watch - Shropshire pupils in giant poppy tribute
Pupils have been paying their respects to the fallen by creating a giant poppy on their school field.
About 230 youngsters took part in the event, which saw them lift more than 130 giant sheets of plastic above their heads to create the poppy.
Jonathan Boyle, deputy headteacher at Madeley Academy in Telford, said that the whole experience had been very powerful and that it had been something he would never forget.
"I thought this year we needed to do something a bit different to commemorate the First World War, which is how we came up with the aerial view of a poppy.
"And it was a very powerful moment when all the plastic sheets were raised," he added. "Not just for the students taking part but for the adults there as well.
"And when I get home I will definitely be telling my family all about the day," he said.
"You could hear a pin drop. There was a huge intake of breath.
"We did not ask the students to be quiet, they did it, and everyone was very wholesome when they left the field.
"Some of the best lessons in life you can have is when you take part in it."
Mr Boyle added that he wanted to thank all the staff and pupils for their support and co-operation leading up to the event, which he said had helped schoolchildren to understand where the poppy symbol came from.
Pupils of all abilities took part in the event, including a youngster who is on crutches and one student that uses a wheelchair.
The school had originally planned on flying a drone over the poppy symbol, but due to the weather that was unable to go ahead.
It has taken the school several weeks to get everything ready for the event.
Each sheet was nine foot by five foot, and altogether was about 30 metres by 30 metres.
