Plume Academy, Maldon has created a new display to commemorate D-Day.

The display was put together by Design Technology teacher Mr Aylen Smith, alongside the help of students.

It contains original and valuable memorabilia loaned by Mr Aylen Smith, featuring kit that a soldier would have carried into battle on the beaches of Normandy.

Mr Aylen Smith commented - "It is a very important part of our history that should never be forgotten.

I am delighted how well our students have reacted to the display along with the many questions that the students have asked."
