As the country marks Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday, Basingstoke Fire crews have used their creative side to make poppy displays at their station.
This morning (Thursday), the crews created poppies out of their equipment as they marked their respect to the fallen soldiers.
The fire fighters also stood and remembered those who fought and fell for the country.
