A WREXHAM school boy has been praised for his fundraising efforts to raise money for The Poppy Appeal. 

Owain Probert, 7, has been painting stones with poppies on for the last two years to fundraise for the cause.

This year was extra special for the youngster as it was in memory of his late grandfather who sadly passed away in February, who was the Poppy Appeal Organiser for Morrisons, Wrexham.
