War heroes are being celebrated in a city estate through a poignant street display.

Around 100 poppies are up on street lights along the main roads throughout Queen's Hills in Costessey on the edge of the city.

The community-led idea has so far raised £361 for the Royal British Legion from public donations via an online fundraiser.

Some £500 will also be donated by the estate's Co-op store, which is still under construction.

Jacqui Knights, 35, a childminder from the estate who is involved in the display, said: "I think they look magnificent. They have had a warm response from the community.

"It is a bit different and I hope it becomes an annual event.

"We have a lot of serving military personnel and veterans who live on the estate."
