Upchurch Poppy Appeal 2014

The total donations to the Royal British Legion from Upchurch are £2,575. Of this amount £875 was donated in business or retail outlets and the pupils and staff of Holywell School donated £48. The house-to-house Poppy Appeal collection in Upchurch was undertaken in all areas of the Parish by twenty two collectors eight of whom were Upchurch Scouts.

St Mary the Virgin had a large congregation of all ages for the Remembrance Sunday service conducted by the Reverend Jacky Davis. Wreaths were laid below the memorial tablet in the Lady Chapel on behalf of the Church, The Mayor of Swale, Upchurch Parish Council, the Upchurch Scouting movement and the Upchurch Guiding Association. After the service Reverend Davis led the choir, the uniformed youth organisations and the congregation in the warm autumnal weather to the burial ground where wooden crosses were laid at the five war commission graves. A light shower of rain marked the end of this Remembrance.


This year we were particularly mindful of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who fought in World War I - a war that started 100 years ago.

On behalf of the Royal British Legion thank you for your generosity.

“WE WILL REMEMBER THEM”
