Seven giant poppies will be created on a beach to commemorate the eventual peace after the First World War.

The flowers in Folkestone will represent the seven months between the armistice of the war, on November 11, 1918 and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919.

Artists Ben Braudy and Angus Cameron from The East Cliff Creative are behind the project, titled Lasting Memories.

Eco-friendly paint will be used to decorate thousands of pebbles, which will then become part of the larger poppy designs constructed on the beach next to the Harbour Arm.

The artists will be assisted by volunteers from schools and community groups to paint the stones, which will then naturally fade over a few weeks.

Each poppy will represent a different theme that impacted Folkestone at the time.

Ben said: "The project aims to highlight the continuing impact of war in the period following the armistace of 1918 and ending with the celebration of peace in June 1919."

On November 11, 1918 - now marked each year as Armistice Day - the allies agreed with Germany to stop the fighting on the Western Front.

Seven months later, on June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, ending the state of war between Germany and the allies.

This is not Ben and Angus' first time creating beach art - last year they designed pieces at Sunny Sands and Mermaid Beach, creating patterns with the sand and stones.

Director Danny Boyle also led a project in Folkestone which saw the face of poet and soldier Wilfed Owen etched into the beach at Sunny Sands.

Hundreds of people turned out for the event last November, which was part of the Armistice centenary celebrations.

Lasting Memories has received a £9,900 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and is a collaboration with cultural development agency Screen South, Rotary International and Folkestone based production company Buckle Up.

A short film is also being produced and will focus on the historical research, hidden stories and document community engagement.
