Poppy Car returns to Bexhill ahead of Remembrance Sunday

Bexhill Town Council said the car was unveiled on Friday (October 30).

It posted a statement on its Facebook page.

The council said: “The Poppy Car, a popular addition to the town's tribute during the season of Remembrance, was unveiled in a short ceremony attended by Deputy Mayor Paul Peters and representatives from both branches of Bexhill's Royal British Legion.

“Poppies and other mementoes of remembrance will be on sale in front of the car, which is located next to Bexhill War Memorial, until Remembrance Sunday. You can also attach a poppy to the car itself to pay your own tribute to the fallen.

“We will remember them.”

The Poppy Car was the idea of former Mayor Cllr Lynn Langlands.

This year's Remembrance service in Bexhill takes place on Sunday, November 8.
