Volunteers carved a 90ft poppy onto a beach in a poignant tribute to the fallen ahead
of Remembrance Day.
Retired doctor and beach artist Claire Eason led the 30-strong team that used garden rakes to create the giant mural illuminated by a stunning sunset.
The group spent five hours painstakingly drawing the huge petals onto the sand at Beadnell Bay in Northumberland.
Before the tide washed their work away, the volunteers stood in the centre of the poppy, known as the stigma, for a series of stunning overhead shots.
