Kent County Show POPPY APPEAL
The Kent County Show, which takes place on 6th, 7th and 8th July, will host The Royal British Legion’s Every One Remembered sculpture as well as a display of handcrafted poppies made by the local community to commemorate 100 years since the First World War ended.
The unique installation provides a Support Squad
Cheerleaders from Hillview School in Tonbridge cheered in runners at the London Marathon as they crossed the fi nishing line. It was a day to remember for the girls – they watched and cheered on Mo Farah, got onto TV, performed in front of Buckingham Palace, and supported all of the athletes who ran for the NSPCC. Such a hit were the team that the organisers have already asked the girls to do it again next year!
Said a spokesperson for the NSPCC: “The girls themselves are absolutely amazing. We haven’t stopped hearing from our runners how amazing it was to be welcomed back by them – it was our ‘hero’s welcome’ as we are naming it. The crowds on The Mall were all looking over and it certainly got the NSPCC lots of attention! “The chant they made was amazing – we have tried for so long to come up with a good chant for the NSPCC so that was excellent.”
fi tting tribute to the sacrifi ce of British and Commonwealth servicemen and women during the First World War. The sculpture, designed by award-winning artist Mark Humphrey, features the ‘Centenary Soldier’ standing on a plinth of limestone sourced from the Somme. The sculpture, which has previously been in place in Trafalgar Square London, Cardiff City Centre, Georges Square in Glasgow and outside the Theatre Royal in Newcastle upon Tyne, is encased in a Perspex™ obelisk and it is joined by thousands of poppies which fl utter around the soldier. Alongside the sculpture at the show will be a community-built knitted poppy display, which will be hosted inside the newly-located Garden Life Marquee. To create the display, the Kent County Show is appealing to members of the public to send in their knitted, crocheted or crafted from felt poppies, and contributors can also send in their details to be included in a contributors list and can dedicate their poppies
if they wish. Following the show, poppies will be donated to local council gateways across Kent to increase the displays planned for November. • Poppy knitting and crochet patterns, and the submission form, can be found at
