HUNDREDS of poppies, beautifully arranged by artist Emma Davies, are a community tribute to the Anzacs.

The poppies were lovingly created by young and old across Glen Eira as part of the Glen Eira Remembers: The Poppies Project.

Mayor Cr Jim Magee said Ms Davies had done a wonderful job linking the poppies into a powerful display.

“Emma Davies has linked hundreds of poppies which have been knitted, crocheted, felted and crafted by members of the Glen Eira community,” he said.

The poppies will hang at Galley Annexe at Glen Eira Town Hall until May 17.
