The Bude and Stratton Branch of the Royal British Legion have been busy preparing for this year’s Remembrance Day and Poppy Appeal.

They have several events in the lead up to their Sunday service that all are welcome to attend.

Members will be manning the marquee again opposite boots from November 7 to 12 for all things Poppy Appeal.

The branch will also be manning Morrisons daily from November 5 to 12.

Bude and Stratton Branch Secretary Sarah Mallard said: “Harry Pearce and the students from Budehaven are doing their poppy wave again this year around the monument on Shalder Hill. This will be lit up on the evenings of November 11 and 13 again by Colemans event hire as it was last year.”

Then, as in previous years, on November 11 at 11am there will be a gathering and short service in the Triangle — all welcome

Sarah added: “We will be having our usual parade and wreath laying on Remembrance Sunday at 11am along with the church service afterwards.”
