The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Eaglesham Knitting and Crochet Club for making a display of 15,000 poppies; recognises that the poppies have been positioned in the garden of Kirkstile Cottage and on its adjoining wall with Eaglesham Parish Church; understands that 25 women, who are members of the Eaglesham group, crocheted the 15,000 poppies, which are made of hard-wearing and weather-proof acrylic, in advance of Remembrance Sunday; acknowledges that the group members put considerable work into the display by spending approximately four weeks making the poppies; notes that members of the Eaglesham Knitting and Crochet Club can each make a single poppy in just seven minutes, and commends all of the women for their efforts to honour those who have fought to defend people's freedoms, democracy and way of life.
