Tockwith remembers centenary end
The displays are in place throughout November.
A team of women from the Craft Club have been creating thousands of poppies and handy craftsmen have made silhouettes of ‘Tommies’ which are on display in the village throughout November.
Army veteran and Tockwith resident Michael Annison told the Wetherby News: “These are probably the best displays I have seen at a local level.”
