The poppies were laid out on a grass carpet on Friday as part of a remembrance service to honour the war dead.
Pupils from Layton Primary School helped the Layton Friends Group to lay wreaths at the Cross of Sacrifice within Layton Cemetery.
Members of the local community, including residents, Layton Primary School, Co-Op Funeral Services, the friends group and representatives from Blackpool Council were in attendance and observed a two minute silence in memory of those who gave their lives in the service of their country.
Cllr Graham Cain, Cabinet Secretary for Blackpool Council, said: “I’m delighted that that the service was so well attended by the local community. The knitted poppies are a wonderful way to honour the brave service people who are buried within the cemetery.
“I would like to say thank you to everyone involved with the organising of the event. A big thank you is also due to the Layton Cemetery team for all the hard work that has taken place to develop a sustainable maintenance programme at the cemetery. A once unmanageable area is now looked upon with immense pride.”
