Poppies are always a special symbol of Remembrance.
But this year they hold a special significance for eight-year-old Sophia, who has made poppies to place around the Penwortham gateway boat, close to Penwortham Holme playing fields. It’s something she did for the first time last year with her grandmother Ruth Gardner, who set up Penwortham in Bloom with husband Melvyn. Sadly, Dorothy, a former midwife, Brownie leader, Babybeat fundraiser and two-times Mayor, died suddenly after a fall in February, aged 79.
'After we lost my mum earlier this year, Sophia asked could she still do poppies like she'd done with my mum and so with the blessing of the PIB committee we set about making poppies again. 'Monday evening, after school, we went down to the boat to continue the tradition my mum started.” Hundreds of people have liked photographs of the boat display featuring dozens of poppies, with many congratulating Sophia for 'excellent job”.
