After months of hard work, a knitted tribute marking the centenary of the end of the First World War has been unveiled in a north-east town.
Thousands of woollen poppies now adorn the railings of the recently refurbished Peterhead Baptist Church.
The commemoration marks 100 years since the conflict came to an end.
Nancy Duncan is the woman behind the idea and she successfully recruited knitters from all over the north-east and beyond to get involved.
She ended up with more than 24,000 poppies – which was enough for the church display and a few smaller wreaths.
Miss Duncan, who has taken on the nickname Mrs Poppy, was joined by church pastor David McCaig to officially launch the memorial at King Street on Saturday morning.
She said it already making an impact.
Miss Duncan said: “I was checking social media after the unveiling and the responses have been amazing.
“People travelled from all over Aberdeenshire to come here to see it and they were taking about why they decided to get involved.
“With the extra poppies we made up a few wreaths and have placed these inside the church.”
Miss Duncan began her bid to create the woollen memorial in March.
She urged an army of knitters to join her efforts and the people responded in drovers with Miss Duncan’s home being overrun with bags of completed poppies.
Once the flowers were finished they had to be painstakingly attached to ropes, which would go on to form the display.
The woollen tribute will remain in place at the Peterhead Baptist Church in King Street until the end of November.
