AN ADOPTED flower bed in Bodmin was a sea of red as the town’s Inner Wheel paid their tribute to the fallen in World War II.
The ladies from the Bodmin Inner Wheel decorated their adopted flower bed on Bell Lane in the town with knitted poppies to mark the occasion.
A spokesperson for the Bodmin Inner Wheel said: “The Bodmin Inner Wheel club decorated their adopted flower bed in the town for the 80th V.E day celebrations. The mayor of Bodmin attended to see the bed and to say what good work the club achieves in the town.
“The Inner Wheel club of Bodmin support many local and International charities with their fundraising events. As a group many hours are put to all that they do. Recently they donated Easter eggs to Ukraine.
