Thank you to Ramsey Town Council and Rev Joe Magill and RBL Tim. Including all that came to celebrate VE Day.
VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) is important because it marks the formal end of N**i Germany's surrender and the conclusion of World War II in Europe on 8 May.

Well Ramsey I am incredibly proud to share that we raised an amazing £14,137 during last year’s Poppy Appeal within Ramsey District! 🌺

This fantastic total reflects the kindness, generosity and community spirit of everyone who took part.

A heartfelt thank you goes to all of our wonderful volunteers who gave up their time to collect at Tesco — your commitment, dedication and resilience in the cold made such a difference. We’re also deeply grateful to everyone who donated so generously. Every contribution, no matter the size, helped us reach this incredible amount.

I would also like to give special recognition to our local schools, whose fundraising efforts made such a huge contribution to the district total. Seeing young people engage with and supporting the Poppy Appeal is truly inspiring.

Thank you once again to everyone involved — we look forward to seeing you all and doing it again next year! 🌺 Ramsey PAO

Today, Ramsey Branch along with Ramsey Town and District Council, members of the public in Thomas a Becket Church had the profound privilege of taking part in Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27, 2026. We came together to remember the unimaginable genocide and atrocities committed by the N**i regime, and to honor the millions of lives lost. But remembrance is not only about the past. Today, we also confronted the painful truth that ethnic cleansing and persecution continue in our world in 2026, reminding us that our duty to remember must also be a commitment to speak out and act.

27/01/2026

Due to the inclement weather. The Holocaust Memorial Short service will be held in Ramsey St Thomas a Becket Church at 11am.

Statement from the Chairman, Ramsey and District Royal British Legion

I am appalled by President Trump’s recent comments suggesting a lack of frontline engagement in Afghanistan. Such remarks are not only deeply misleading, they are profoundly disrespectful to the men and women of the United Kingdom and allied nations who served, and, in many cases sacrificed in that conflict.

British service personnel operated for years in some of the most dangerous and unforgiving conditions imaginable. They patrolled hostile ground, engaged the enemy at close quarters, trained Afghan forces under constant threat, and paid a heavy price in lives lost and lives permanently changed. To imply that this did not constitute genuine frontline service is an insult to their courage, professionalism, and sacrifice.

As Chairman of the Ramsey and District Royal British Legion, I represent veterans, serving personnel, and their families, people who know firsthand the cost of Afghanistan. Many still live with physical injuries, psychological trauma, and the grief of comrades who never came home. Casual or ill-informed comments that diminish their service only deepen that hurt.

We expect world leaders to speak with accuracy, responsibility, and respect when referring to military service. Anything less undermines the bond of trust owed to those who risk everything in the service of their country.

Our Armed Forces do not need their record rewritten or diminished. Their actions speak for themselves, and they deserve nothing but recognition, gratitude, and respect.
