Displays dedicated to those lost in war and during the COVID pandemic have been installed in Jubilee Park.
The Sully Village Group (SVG) had in October asked residents to contribute to the project by painting pebbles with remembrance iconography.
Resident Emma Melvin originally suggested the idea.
One hundred pebbles were submitted. They were initially displayed on Remembrance Sunday.
The pebbles were then taken away while resident Keith Bowring constructed a display board on which they now sit.
Pride of place is given to a remarkable heart-shaped pebble, which is decorated in memory of Joyce Dodgson. Her daughter Nicky Parry had given a "very generous" donation to the SVG on behalf of Joyce.
The money will fund the group's various community projects in the future.
The Community Garden has also been enhanced with a trellis adorned by gold stars.
Written by residents, the stars remember loved ones lost in lockdown.
They include a message to Derek Tantum, who died in September and has had his special friendship with a French bulldog named Casper commemorated with a memorial bench.
"We wanted the community to have somewhere to visit where they could remember loved ones," said Hannah Bevmoh, Chair of the SVG. "2020 has made that more difficult than ever so we hope it's brought some comfort."
