Pupils from three local
schools have been very busy planting out flowers in poppy-shaped beds in
Ellington Park. The red geraniums form
part of the preparation for the World War One event taking place on Sunday 13th.July
to mark the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War.
The
youngsters from Christ Church, Ellington Infants and Laleham Gap schools were
invited by the Friends of Ellington Park to play their part in commemorating this
centenary event.
Friends’ chairperson,
Beverley Perkins, said, “It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm among the
children as they got involved in this lovely creation.”
