AN antique furniture shop has been putting on a special window display to honour the war heroes who died for their country.
In a week which has seen Remembrance Sunday, Ron and Sheila Foley have set up their own personal tribute based on items they have been given, or have collected themselves, over the years.
The Foleys, who run Foley's Furniture shop in Feathers Lane, have unearthed some real marvels.
Mementos from the 1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1945 campaigns include a First World War brass ration box issued to all servicemen at Christmas - complete with a note from Princess Mary - a packet of tobacco, and a bar of chocolate, as well as bits of German and British artillery shell which have been transformed into candlesticks and ashtrays.
The most prized possession for Ron Foley, however, is the wooden carved statuette of a Scottish piper, which he found discarded in his former garden in Willesden, north London.
He said: "It was carved by a German prisoner of war while he was being held captive."
