The Royal British Legion will plant hundreds of crosses in a Herefordshire country park to mark 101 years since the end of the First World War.

The commemorative woodland at Queenswood Country Park and Arboretum, near Leominster, will be transformed in the run up to Remembrance Sunday on November 10.

From October 26, visitors to Queenswood will be able to see the Royal British Legion crosses and be able to spend some time in the commemorative woodland in the heart of the park.

"Having the RBL memorial within the newly opened First World War Commemorative woodland will highlight this contemplative space," said Rose Farrington, from Queenswood.

"People can come and reflect on the contribution made by Queenswood and Herefordshire more widely over 100 years ago during the First World War."

Earlier this year, on Armed Forces Day, the commemorative woodland at Queenswood was dedicated as a memorial to the First World War.

Stephen Cole, Chairman Royal British Legion, Hereford City North Branch said: "Each year, the Royal British Legion encourages the nation to come together to honour and remember the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces community.

"They remember those who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts, from the beginning of the First World War right up to the present day."
