Woven into the heart of Bushey’s history are the stories of its heroes. Every Remembrance Day, the town pauses to honour them with symbols of the gratitude that never fades.
To mark Remembrance Day on Tuesday, November 11, Armistice flowers were attached to lampposts near the war memorial on Sparrows Herne, on Bushey High Street, and on Bushey Mill Lane.
The displays were funded by Bushey councillors who installed the poppies by hand.
Another row of poppies, on Bushey High Road, was provided by Ashley Kelman of Kelman Deli.
Remembrance Sunday was also marked by a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial.
Bushey North councillor Paul Richards said: “Remembrance Day is a very important event for residents. They rightly expect a visible display of poppies as a show of respect.
“It was a privilege to help make this possible, and our thanks again to Ashley Kelman.”
In a separate initiative, it has been announced that Bushey Village will have a display of Christmas lights this year. The lights will be positioned along the High Street and switched on on Saturday, November 29.
