Thousands of silk poppies have been planted in a village in West Yorkshire in a spectacular display to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

Lynne Hodgkinson, 51, has created a moving tribute incorporating more than 2000 silk poppies to commemorate the day when the Second World War came to an end in Europe and cheer the community in Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield.
