Across Merton people lined the streets and decorated their shops for Remembrance Day.

In what marked the 100th anniversary of the end of the 1st World War the children of Morden's Aragon Primary School created a display of handmade poppies which took a life of their own on the fence.

As well as representatives from the school, Merton mayor Mary Curtin laid a poppy wreath to add to the display and said: "It is a pleasure to join you all today and I am proud to have shared this assembly with you.

"You have all worked very hard on this marvellous display. Thank you for inviting me along."

Over in Wimbledon, the Sunshine Recovery Cafe took to making their own poppies as well.

Cafe manager Debbie Barnard said she was "extremely proud when the knitting group, run by Anthony Muckell former royal marine, announced that they intended to make a wreath out of hand knitted poppies for the Centenary Remembrance Day.

"It’s been hugely successful doing a joint project with the veterans.”
