1st July 1916 - the first day of the Battle of the Somme , the bloodiest day in British Military history and one where volunteers from across Ulster made such a heavy sacrifice.
We will never forget the sacrifices of the 36th Ulster Division or the 16th Irish Division in a battle that raged until November 1916.

Today, the Ulster Tower stands as a permanent memorial in France, to the men from Ulster who didn’t make it home to our wee part of the world, including Hillsborough.

“ At the going down of the sun and in the morning- we will remember them.”

🌺 “WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.”🌺

Lovely to have you with us again Emma, great to see Gillian and her mum too! Thank you for your continued support.🙏

It was really lovely to catch up with good friends in Royal Hillsborough at the always wonderful Royal British Legion Women's Section - Hillsborough Branch. Afternoon Tea yesterday! 🍰☕🩷 - the sun was shining, great company and yummy treats indeed. Well done to all at the branch for the hard work on this beautiful event, and it was good to see it supported by the Royal British Legion Chair and Royal British Legion's NI Woman's Section Chair, both in attendance.

Thanks to the NI RBL Women’s Section Chairman Janet, NI RBL Chairman Colin and NI RBLWS District Committee members for joining us this afternoon in Royal Hillsborough at our Afternoon Tea. We were competing with many other events throughout the day in our community and that reflected on the numbers attending …. nevertheless those attending enjoyed their afternoon and we raised an amazing £413.30. Thanks to everyone for attending , special thanks to our DFM Emma Little-Pengelly and Cllr Alan Martin for their continued support. Also thanks to branch members , Walkers Butchers, Annahilt Parish Church and Hillsborough Village Centre for their help in making the afternoon a success. 🙏
