A time to remember

Published: 5 November, 2010

• THIS year Remembrance Sunday falls on November 14. I should like as many people as possible to join me for the Remembrance Sunday parade and inter-faith service at the War Memorial on Islington Green.  

The service begins at 10.40am and the two-minutes silence will be observed at 11am. Afterwards, at 11.40am, there will be a short service at the War Memorial at Spa Green, followed by a community remembrance event at Manor Gardens at 2pm.

For this year’s Poppy Appeal the legion is focusing on its support for the Afghan generation of the armed forces family. 

May I urge readers to buy a poppy. They will be on sale in the Town Hall and at 222 Upper Street. If anyone can help by being a poppy seller, please contact the Royal British Legion on 0800 085 5924.
