LASTING MEMORIES
Lasting Memories is a community art and heritage project centered around the creation of seven giant beach poppies on the beaches of Folkestone at the end of June 2019.
The project commemorateS the 100 year anniversary of the ‘Treaty of Versailles’ which marked the peace in Europe following the end of WW1. The poppies represent the seven months between the Armistice of WW1 and the eventual peace on 28th June 1919 with seven themed stories that impacted the local community during this time.
11th Folkestone Scouts got involved with the project, painting several hundred stones at the end our 2019 Awards & AGM night, storing the stones at the Shepway Close Centre and some of our young people and adults supporting the placing of the art installation.
