Wanganui RSA is no stranger to poppies, but it's currently playing host to a particularly special poppy.
The ceramic poppy was one of 888,246 - one for each British or colonial World War I casualty - handmade by British artist Paul Cummins. The poppies were produced as an installation, Blood Swept Lands and Seas Of Red, which carpeted the ground around the Tower of London last year to mark the centenary of the start of World War I.
The poppies were all individually made and no two were identical.
The poppies were later sold off, and one of them has made its way to the Wanganui RSA.
However, exactly who the donor is remains something of a mystery. Manager Kyle Dalton said a woman called Allie Ward had dropped the poppy off several weeks ago.
