Communities in the Llanidloes will also commemorate next weekend the contribution of military and civilian servicemen and women involved in the two world wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday services will be held at 10am at Carno church, Llandinam Presbyterian Church, Llanwnog Methodist Church, Trefeglwys Chapel followed after at the villages' war memorials. Llangurig Chapel will mark Remembrance Sunday with a service at 2.30pm with a commemoration at the war memorial.
Poppies are on sale from a number of collection boxes in Llanidloes, Llangurig and Trefeglwys following the launch of the area's Poppy Appeal last month.
Selling poppies has been an emblem for the RBL for more than 100 years. The money raised from each poppy sold goes directly towards helping all the veterans, servicemen and women, and their families.
