School pupils provide poignant Remembrance Day display for Royal Priors in Leamington


Shopping centre bosses invited Clapham Terrace Primary School pupils to take part in a dedicated workshop, which took them on an educational journey through the history of the First World War and the meaning behind the poppy.
They also created a commemorative poppy display which is now up in the shopping centre.

"It is the experience of those who lived through it that has shaped the world we live in today.
“The shopping centre , in partnership with the children at Clapham Terrace Primary School, created a beautiful memorial to mark this momentous occasion.
"It not only gave the children a chance to get creative but also learn all about those who served, sacrificed and changed our world."
