00:00I'm with the Reverend Louise Bryson in St. John's Baptist Church in Greetham. Did I get

00:06that bit right? Yeah. That's good. Poppy display this year is absolutely amazing. It's stunning

00:13and it's very unique. You've used bottles. Yes. Wine. How did you manage that? So we

00:19decided to put a notice out in the church and around the village for people to collect

00:24the bottoms of bottles to cut them off and then because that creates that poppy shape

00:31and then we painted them red and they've been varnished and then it was easy to hang up. It

00:36also just means that we can recycle the bottoms as well so it's good in that way as well. What's

00:42been your reaction to it? It's had a really positive impact I think for the village,

00:47for people in Hartlepool, for the church. It's been really nice to bring people together as

00:53a community and just create this huge display to remember the servicemen and women throughout the

01:00war but also people serving today and so it's had a really really nice impact. It is very stunning.

01:07Yeah it's lovely. Yeah they've worked really hard and as I say it's been the community together

01:13with the church so it's been a really good community effort.
