Poppies at the Cathedral

The High Altar at Exeter's Cathedral has been decorated by the sea of poppies which were first seen at Devon County Show 2017, and created by so many wonderful people from Devon. 

35,000 poppies are displayed, representing those that lost their lives in the First World War from Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. 

Also included in the display is the original Devon Yeomanry uniform and a horse, kindly lent by Bicton College.  The horse and the purple poppies represent all the animals lost - over 1 million horses, many pigeons, dogs and cats.

The display is in the Cathedral until 14th November - well worth a visit.

There is a basket of hand crafted poppies on sale as well.
