Whilst the knitted head on the one in the Carfax represents all military personnel, Pam Tedder Secretary Horsham Normandy WI said: “I was thinking about my late father in law, who aged 19years and 2 months took part in the D Day landings as his first military operation. I was thinking about how scared he must have been.”

Horsham area WIs have also created over 300 knitted and crocheted poppies which have been sold by the Royal British Legion this year.
