Headline: RAW VIDEO: Former RAF Medic Creates Public Poppy Display In Swansea Using Discarded Plastic Bottles
Caption: Former RAF Medic Christy Cox from Swansea, Wales has spent weeks handcrafting a beautiful display of a sea of poppies for the estate where she lives. Each year the families from the estate gather around Christy’s display for both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. The creative display is made from thousands of hand-painted red, 2-litre pop bottle ends, bottles of which have been donated by Christy’s family and friends from around Swansea. Christy, who suffers from PTSD having served in the RAF, found solace in crafting and this time of year is particularly poignant for her. “Remembrance for me is important, I remember those who gave everything, those of us that have served, continue to service and support loved ones but also to remember those who live with the effects of their service.” This year Christy will be proudly marching at the cenotaph in London on Sunday alongside those who have served in various wars.
