The date has been set for the launch of Peterhead’s very own commemoration to mark the end of World War I.
Thousands of knitted poppies will cascade down the side of the town’s Baptist Church to mark the centenary of the conflict.
The red flowers will flow down the side of the building in a similar fashion to the Weeping Willow display that attracted thousands of visitors to the Tower of London.
Nancy Duncan from Peterhead began the project earlier this year when she called for knitters to help her make it a reality.
More than 20,000 poppies have been made for the memorial and knitters from all over the north-east and further afield have been helping out.
They have been painstakingly tied to ropes and will be attached to the recently revamped church at the end of next week.
That will be followed by a grand unveiling on Saturday, October 27. The poppies are expected to stay in place for around a month.

Ms Duncan, who has taken on the nickname Mrs Poppy, said she has been kept busy with regular deliveries of the knitted flowers arriving at her home.
She said: “They are still coming in on a daily basis. Some of them come through the post or they are dropped off at the house.
“We’ve had poppies from people in Shetland and all the way from the south of England. We’ve also had plenty of local support.
“I have been blown away by this and we hope to use 98% of the poppies.
“Any extras will be used for wreaths and we hope to set up a little garden of remembrance as well.”
Ms Duncan, who works in the oil industry, has also been holding regular sessions for volunteers working to attach knitted flowers to ropes.
She said: “We are all organised.
“Once the ropes were finished a local fishermen spliced a loop in them so they can be attached to the building.”
