With the remembrance day parade at Bridlington Cenotaph not going ahead this year one local man has come up with an alternative plan to mark the day.
Chris Appleby says he plans to place a wooden remembrance poppy Cross on each of the WW1 and WW2 Commonwealth War graves in Bridlington cemetery.
Chris explains his plan.
Chris says the first challenge is locating all the graves.
Chris is now raising funds to purchase the poppies, you can find more details about his plans on his Go Fund Me Page
