A popular poppy display is set to go on show at an army museum.
The "Purple Richmond Poppies," crafted by a group from Richmond, North Yorkshire, will be showcased at the REME Museum in Lyneham, Wiltshire, from July 1 to September 7.
The poppies, mounted on camouflage netting donated by Catterick Garrison, pay tribute to animals killed in conflicts.
The display, originally shown during the First World War centenary in 2018, was later given to the Northern Region of the Donkey Breed Society.
The society started a tour of military museums in 2024, including the York Army Museum and the Cheshire Military Museum.

The display will be in the REME Museum's Remembrance Gallery, alongside objects illustrating the roles of animals in military operations since the First World War.
The museum's collection will also contribute stories of animals in the lives of REME soldiers.
Sarah Booth from the Donkey Breed Society said she was delighted to bring the poppies to the south, spreading the message of animals' roles in war.
The museum will host donkeys on July 13 and August 25.
For families, there will be poppy and donkey-themed crafts during the school summer holidays from July 29 to August 29.
The display is included in the museum's admission fee.
