With Remembrance Sunday fast approaching, a Newport shop owner has decked her front window out as a shrine to those lost.

Tracey Stokes-Whiting, 48, runs the Handpost Florist on Stow Hill, and decided to make a statement because she believed not enough shops and organisations in the area are remembering.

The window is covered in a giant five feet cardboard poppy, a two foot cross, eight wreaths, silk poppies, photos and t-shirts.

Mrs Stokes-Whiting, whose father Godfrey Stokes served in the RAF, said: "Servicemen have done so much for us. I think a lot of people these days are quite selfish and should remember their roots and what happened in the past."

She spent all Thursday afternoon creating the display on a white and red background.

As well as selling the wreaths, Mrs Stokes-Whiting is selling poppies to raise money for the city's Poppy Appeal.
