Joanne Sheppard of St Edward's Church invited locals to make crochet poppies for Remembrance Sunday, and was amazed when over 2,000 were contributed, showcasing true community spirit.
The church hosted 'chat and sew' sessions, where community members not only crocheted but also shared personal stories of loss, highlighting the project's emotional significance.
Joanne noted the involvement of the RM1 Women's Institute, who knitted over 500 poppies, emphasizing the strong community bonds formed during this project.
Mike Webb from the Royal Naval Association noted the unexpected turnout of crafters who came forth, underscoring the uniting power of the poppy initiative in Romford.
