Tom Wright, managing director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Eastern Counties, said: "As a tribute to all those who lost their lives in conflict, we have decorated our developments with poppies.

"During this time of remembrance, we hope the poppies will prompt Essex residents to take a moment of quiet reflection."

Poppies were also installed at the housebuilder's developments in Hullbridge and Dovercourt.
