Remembrance Sunday (Poppy Day) will be the 11th of November. This is the date 100 years ago when the Armistice was signed to end the First World War.
The Royal British Legion, established in 1921, is a UK charity providing lifelong welfare support for the Armed Forces, Reservists, Veterans and their families. It organises the National Poppy Day Appeal as the main fundraiser for its welfare duties and it puts on the Festival of Remembrance.
In Upchurch a team of collectors will again be making the annual house-to house collections from Saturday the 27th October to Saturday 10th November.
The final amount collected in Upchurch for the 2017 appeal has been notified to me as £3,359.44.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
