A yard worker at a scaffolding company has made an eye-catching memorial for Remembrance Day.

Michael Barnard, better known as Barney, is a yard man for Mr Safedeck on Beccles Road, Gorleston, and he and his colleagues regularly create special displays for passersby to enjoy.

Inspired by his grandfather who served in the First World War and his father who served in the Second World War, Mr Barnard erected a Remembrance Day display on Monday with poppies and saluting soldiers.

It comes after their Halloween display received praise.

Mr Barnard, 68, said: "We got a few good responses for the Halloween one and people asked us to keep going."


The yard worker made the display in his spare time using recycled materials.

"I thought it would be nice to show veterans they have our support," Mr Barnard said.

The memorial is on view until November 15, and then a Christmas display will be put up afterwards.

Mr Barnard added: "It's going to be a nice surprise for people."
