Pin Your Poppy - Remembrance Day Commemorations

Dear Resident,

We are inviting you to get involved in this year’s Remembrance Day commemorations and pay tribute to servicemen and women – past and present – by creating and pinning a poppy onto an Unknown Tommy statue by Sunday 2nd November 2025.

A total of six statues have been made by The British Ironwork Centre, funded by the PCC, to cover West Mercia. The statues are located outside police stations at Malinsgate, Malvern, Hereford, Kidderminster and Shrewsbury.

There is also a statue based at West Mercia Police Headquarters at Hindlip for police staff and officers to pin their poppies on to.

During week commencing Monday 3rd November, the ‘Tommies’ will be gathered and taken to Malvern police station, ahead of an event taking place there that will pay respect to servicemen and women, both past and present.

Kind regards,
