Want to see what nine metres and thousands of poppies look like, surrounded by the beautiful elephants of Trunks Across the Thames? 🌺🐘

Thanks to our brilliant friends at Thames Hospice, we had the space to stretch out the display so far. Michelle, Jess and the communi-crafters were especially drawn to the connection to 'Windsor Hurricane', with its striking poppy-covered back legs.

Celebrating Windsor’s connection to the Hawker Hurricane, this elephant remembers those who flew and those who didn’t return. Its poppies echo the remembrance at the heart of our own project - a beautiful connection between two community creations.

'Windsor Hurricane' was on display in Alexandra Garden, near to the memorial to Sir Sydney Camm, creator of the iconic WW2 aircraft, the Hawker Hurricane. First flown in 1935, 14,000 were built, many at nearby Langley. The last, PZ865, still flies with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Squadron Leader John Grandy, later Governor of Windsor Castle, flew it in the Battle of Britain.

And its only 4 more days until 30 of these magnificent beasts go under the hammer for Thames Hospice - find out more via Windsor Auctions.

From elephants that never forget to poppies that help us remember...

📣 FINAL CALL FOR WINDSOR SCHOOLS!

We know that 20+ local schools are taking part in the Windsor Community Poppy Project, but we’re still missing registration details from quite a few of you.

If your school is creating a poppy mural, making poppies or contributing to the project in any way, please make sure you’ve completed the registration form.

We need those details now so that we can liaise directly with each school and make arrangements for your contribution to be included in the installation at Windsor Parish Church.

Haven’t received the form or can’t find the original email?
No problem. Email [email protected] and we’ll send the link directly to you.

And if you’re a parent, governor, teacher or PTA member and know your school is taking part, please tag them or share this with the right person. That may be just the nudge we need to get through the school-office gatekeepers!

🌺 Thank you. We don’t want to miss anyone out.
