A cross-generation parade and service in Princetown today (Sunday) honoured those who died in wars for their country.

A church service was followed by a march with standards held aloft to the village war memorial set against a mini-field of homemade red poppies and purple poppies in tribute to military personnel and animals.

The parade comprised veterans, service military personnel, residents, uniformed youth groups, uniformed public services and even a pony called Pepper from Dartmoor Carriages adorned with poppy garlands.

The poppies were made by one family - Ally, Pete and daughter Lauren Jackson.

Ally said: “The plastic was cut from used pop and water bottles, yoghurt pots, trifles dishes anything that I could cut the shape out of. The remainder of the plastic put back into the recycling bin.”
