A CARE home has unveiled a striking Remembrance Day art display, made in collaboration with schoolchildren.
Parkfield Grange in Stourbridge created the installation to honour those who served and sacrificed during wartime, working alongside pupils from Rednal Hill Infant School to bring the project to life.
The display, now on view outside the care home, is crafted from more than 100 recycled plastic bottles, which were cut, painted, drilled and assembled by staff, residents and children.
It also features poppies made by the care home’s knit and natter craft group.
Doris Nelson, a 96-year-old resident at Parkfield Grange and a volunteer for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, said: "It is important to remember the sacrifices made during the wars.
"I have always supported the Poppy Appeal, having lived through World War II, and I hope that something this visual will acts as a reminder to remember for younger generations."
The care home is encouraging members of the public to visit and reflect at the display.
Emily Hocking, home admissions advisor at Parkfield Grange, said: "We hope that the local community will come to see our poppy artwork display outside the care home.
"Many volunteers came together to create this installation, which aims to help people contemplate and remember those who made many sacrifices."
The care home, located on Hagley Road, is part of the Cinnamon Care Collection and provides residential, dementia and respite care.
The group has been named a Top 20 Care Home Group by carehome.co.uk for eight consecutive years.
