10,000 poppies to flutter down as Truro Cathedral remembers Cornish war dead this morning
A ‘Fall of 10,000 Poppies’, one for each of the Cornish war dead, will take place at Truro Cathedral this morning.
At 10.30am in Truro Cathedral there will be a short service to mark Armistice Day, with a two minute silence at 11am.
Following the silence there will be the ‘Fall of 10,000 Poppies’, with the poppies made by school children from all over Cornwall and also by visitors to the cathedral, over the last ten months.
The poppies are part of the cathedral’s Cornwall Remembers project to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War and supported by the Arts Council and Heritage Lottery Fund.
