The Ripon branch of builders merchant MKM has donated over £2,500 of timber and building materials towards the creation of a knitted tank as part of events acknowledging the 80^th anniversary of D-Day in June 1944.

Organised by the Ripon Community Poppy Project, full-sized, knitted replica of a Churchill AVRE tank will be displayed across various locations in the city starting from the end of April, leading up to the D-Day anniversary on June 6^th.

Preparation for the Ripon D Day tribute began 18 months ago, involving an estimated 70,500 hours of planning, knitting, and assembling.
