Homebuilder honours Remembrance Day in Leicestershire

The housebuilder has attached large poppies to the lampposts at Grange View in Hugglescote, Thorpebury in the Limes in Thorpebury and New Lubbesthorpe in Lubbesthorpe to mark the annual tribute to all those who lost their lives during the wars.

In 2024, the Royal British Legion is remembering the courage of 1944, as this year marks the 80th anniversaries of momentous battles an turning points of the Second World War, including the D-Day landings, the largest seaborne invasion in history.

Residents and visitors to the new communities in the county are encouraged to walk past the poppies and think about all those who served in conflicts across the world ahead of Remembrance Day on Monday 11th November.

John Reddington, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “As a tribute to all those who lost their lives in conflict, we have decorated our developments with poppies.

“During this time of remembrance, we hope the poppies will prompt Leicestershire residents to take a moment of quiet reflection.”

The Royal British Legion is the country’s largest Armed Forces charity, and the annual Poppy Appeal is a symbol of remembrance and hope for a peaceful future.
