Remembrance
We will remember them together – June-November 2023
Created by the Women’s Group, Flower Committee, members and friends of Sherbrooke Mosspark Parish Church and Ibrox Parish Church
We present our Remembrance installation, ‘We will remember them together’, which aims to demonstrate an active sign of remembrance for all those who have sacrificed their lives so that we can appreciate our freedom today. 
Sherbrooke Mosspark Parish Church’s first and largest installation to date, has been an initiative started by the Women’s Group and Flower Committee and embraced by many members and friends of both Sherbrooke Mosspark Parish Church and Ibrox Parish Church.   
Remembrance has been created by knitting over 1700 individual poppies with many people knitting, sewing and knotting to produce  today’s installation.  The team created two banners of poppies mounted onto camouflage netting symbolising the unforgettable sacrifices made during both the first and second world wars as well as other conflicts since then. The colours are significant for their poignant links to the symbol of remembrance in the United Kingdom.  The poppies are generally red in colour with a mixture of red tones symbolising individual acts of remembrance. The purple poppies symbolise the animals that served during wartime.  
Remembrance’s visual impact is also a reflection of the stronger, wider community who wished to contribute to our act of Remembrance through our shared values as well as our individuality.  Our poppy installation has been made by our people, for the people, to the Glory of God.
