A WOMAN travelled from London to a store in Llandudno to see a knitted tribute in remembrance of her late father.
Jo went to see the The Longest Yarn in Llandudno last week, with her knitted tribute to her father in the shop window of The Crystal Hut.
An incredible collaboration between knitters from France, the UK, Europe, USA and New Zealand, more than 80 encased knitted scenes are on view to the public at Holy Trinity Church on Trinity Square.
The scenes show snapshots of the 80-day campaign to liberate Paris from Nazi Germany in World War II.

The exhibition - organised by the Friends of Mostyn Street - was open to the public for free until October 27 every day except Monday and also features a video of veterans stories from the battlefield.
Jo’s father was a serving policeman during the war, before landing on the shores of Normandy during the D Day landings.
During the landings, he and his fellow brothers in arms disembarked their boat and had to remove their helmets and put on red t-shirts so their comrades knew they weren't their enemies and to not shoot at them.
She stopped by the store to view her tribute, with staff saying Jo was “lovely”.
They told The Pioneer: “Her father would have been 104 and Jo travelled up here all the way from London to see her beautiful tribute that is currently proudly on display in our window.”
