Poppy displays spread through town
Volunteers have knitted poppies that are spread across Much Wenlock in thoughtful displays.
It has involved people from across the town, all with a focus on the sacrifice made by a former generation.
The church has been lit up with a series of poignant remembrance-themed projections in the run-up to the centenary of the end of the First World War.
And on Sunday there will be services to remember the dead 100 years from the moment the guns fell silent. The week of remembrance will conclude with a beacon lighting ceremony on Sunday night.
The effort put into the Armistice Day commemorations in Much Wenlock have been repeated in every village and town across Shropshire and Mid Wales.
It has involved people of all ages and created a focus to remember those from Much Wenlock parish and further afield who died in the Great War and in subsequent conflicts.
The light show can be seen on the tower of Much Wenlock Parish Church every night from 6pm.
It is part of tributes organised by the town council's Battle's Over Working Group.
The whole community has got behind the efforts to mark the occasion in style, with knitted poppies adorning the front of the Guildhall and 'lamp post poppies' fixed around the town centre.
'Silent soldier' figures have been put up, and shops and businesses have created symbolic remembrance-inspired displays in their windows.
Inside the church, a cascade of poppies has been created for people to go and pay their respects.
Councillor Dan Thomas, from the working group, said: "The community feel about all this has been amazing, with the everyone knitting poppies and seeing the displays everywhere, as well as the church all lit up.
"We wanted to mark this Remembrance Day properly. We have got events going on at the Corn Exchange on Friday and Saturday for children, and then the lighting of a beacon on Sunday.
"The church has gone a bit viral on social media since we switched the display on, with people around the country sharing it. Lots of people have been coming to see it.
"The poppy knitting drive has also been nice for the whole community.
"We have worked really hard and it is great to see it all come together."
