'Poppy' - in remembrance

Staffordshire film-maker Olivia Hall made this short video 'Poppy' in honour of those who died fighting for this country. It is a poignant reminder of why we wear poppies on Armistice Day

Olivia Hall recently graduated from Staffordshire University's media production course, so she admits she is still very young to be taking on such a sensitive subject.

However, she filmed what she saw in graveyards and in ceremonies around Staffordshire; and she lets the pictures speak for themselves. She visited the National Memorial Arboretum near Lichfield for part of the filming.
There is also personal testimony.
