NEW Addington Pathfinders marked the centenary of the start of the First World War by planting poppy seeds in a meadow last Saturday.
As part of a campaign to "turn Croydon red", the group planted hundred of seeds on North Down fields.
Organiser Marion Burchell said: "It's really important for us to remember and we are hoping to stage a big street party in a few years to mark 100 years since the end of the war."
The young planters were joined by members of the London Fire Brigade on the day.
