Last year the Poppy Appeal raised over £47 million nationally, nearly £550,000 in Yorkshire and £12,256.51 in the Leyburn area. This year the official Remembrancetide period is Sat 28 Oct to Sat 11 Nov and the Branch will be fund raising each Friday and Saturday. Volunteers will be outside Hewson’s Newsagents and there will be a stall inside the Co-op.

Leyburn Branch RBL are very much looking forward to parading on Remembrance Sunday, on 12 November, in Leyburn town square, led by Leyburn Town Council. The Act of Remembrance will be followed by a service at the Methodist Church.

There will also be a short Act of Remembrance on Armistice Day, from 1045 on Saturday 11 November, led by the local Branch.

Thanks to all who supported Leyburn Branch RBL at the Wensleydale Show. It was wonderful to see everyone at the stall and we raised £395.82 for the Poppy Appeal.

Called The Fabric That Binds Us, the film reminds us to think about our veterans from recent conflicts - connected by their service yet from different walks of life.

It is with deepest sorrow that the Royal British Legion marks the death of our Sovereign and Patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen has served as Patron of the Royal British Legion since 6 February 1952. We are immensely thankful for Her Majesty’s faithful service, and we join the entire Armed Forces community in mourning the loss of its Commander-in-Chief. The Queen’s unwavering dedication to the British Armed Forces will be greatly missed. Our sincere condolences are with the Royal Family at this time. Rbl.org.uk
