As part of the Armistice Centenary, Ryde Library is currently playing host to a wonderful exhibition commemorating those who lost their lives in the First World War.
664 named poppies
A whopping 664 poppies have been made by staff of the library and volunteers, which are displayed around the library, showing the names and details of all those from Ryde who died during the First World War.
A huge amount of time and effort has been put into this exhibition, so do pop along and take a look before it closes on 16th November. All involved have made a wonderful job of paying tribute to those who lost their lives, as well as provide a great amount of information about WWI.
