Knitted poppy dress displayed ahead of Armistice Day

A shopfront in Taunton is marking this year's Armistice and Poppy Day commemorations - with an unusual twist.

They're displaying a stunning floor length gown made entirely of knitted poppies:

Sharon Ogden, who runs the Birdcage Dress Agency, enlisted a group of friends who each spent hours creating this display to support the Royal British Legion.
