Students, staff and parents of St. Begh's Catholic School in Whitehaven have collaborated on an Armistice display.

The mural was a team effort, parents cut the bottoms off plastic bottles and the children painted them to look like poppies. A camoflaged cargo net holds the poppy cascade on the school gates.

Paintings are also a part of the display which honours the lost heroes of World War One. A memorial display also takes pride of place within the school. A silhouette of a soldier and John Mcrae's iconic 'In Flanders Fields' is surrounded by poppies.

The symbolic flowers bear messages to the fallen. Year four children involved in the project said: "It was lots of fun making the poppies, we made them because we remember the brave soldiers who protected our country and died for us."
