THERE is still time to sign up for the The Human Poppy, taking place in Cirencester on Sunday, November 11.

The Human Poppy forms part of the 'We Remember 1918' initiative, which has been co-ordinated by Cirencester Community Development Trust (CCDT ) together with the Royal British Legion, the Barn Theatre, the Church and Cotswold District Council.

At 2pm on Remembrance Sunday, some 3,000 people are expected to join together in Cirencester Market Place to create the UK’s largest ‘Human Poppy’ in recognition of individual soldiers who lost their lives in the Great War.

Men, women and children will represent the fallen and each will be issued with red, black or green ponchos. They will cover the Market Place to create a Human Poppy.

This event will be followed by a remembrance concert held in the Corn Hall, Cirencester, organised by the Barn Theatre.

Participants can sign up in advance via The Barn Theatre website barntheatre.org.uk.

All people who sign up in advance can collect their ponchos from Cirencester Town Council Information Centre. Ground Floor, Bingham House, 1 Dyer Street, Cirencester GL7 2NZ.

For people who arrive on the Sunday at 2pm, ponchos can be picked up from the various distribution points in the Market Square.
