Rethink Remembrance
This year, The Royal British Legion is asking the nation to Rethink Remembrance by recognising the sacrifices made not just by the Armed Forces of the past, but by a new generation of current veterans and their families, who also need our support.
For many people, Remembrance is associated with the fallen of the First and Second World Wars. While we will always remember them, the Legion wants to raise awareness of a new generation of veterans and Service personnel that need our support.
The annual poppy appeal helps to support the vital work done for the Armed Forces community. Wearing a poppy is a symbol of Remembrance: to remember the fallen Service men and women killed in conflict.
Remembrance events, such as Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day are held during the month of November to commemorate the fallen.
Buy your poppy from the local sellers or make a donation HERE.
Lest We Forget: Please don’t forget told a minute’s silence on Friday 11 November 2016 at 11AM.
