A special Remembrance display on Bank Street

Thank you to Yellow Umbrella Gifts for creating a thoughtful window display in support of Remembrance.

This display has an especially meaningful feature: “Ernest’s Story” a special element inviting people to pause, look a little closer and reflect on an individual story behind our remembrance.

If you’re in Newton Abbot, do take a moment to visit the display on Bank Street. It’s lovely to see local businesses finding thoughtful ways to help our community remember.

Thank you to Yellow Umbrella Gifts for taking the time to create something so special. ❤️

Poppy Appeal collecting at Asda

Our Poppy Appeal collecting table is up and running at Asda.

A big thank you to our volunteers, Leigh and Lorraine, who were there to help get things started. They were a little too shy to appear in the photograph, but their time and support are very much appreciated!

The table will be at Asda until Sunday 8 November, so if you’re visiting, do stop by and say hello.

Thank you to Asda for supporting the Poppy Appeal and to everyone who gives their time to help make these collections possible. ❤️

Another lovely poppy display in Newton Abbot

A big thank you to Shaldon Bakery for decorating their window with poppies and helping mark the season of Remembrance here in Newton Abbot.

It’s encouraging to see another local business taking part, adding a splash of red to our town and giving passers-by a reminder to pause and remember all those who have served and sacrificed.

Thank you to the team at Shaldon Bakery for showing their support and helping keep Remembrance visible in our community. ❤️

Weather update for Newton Abbot’s Remembrance Parade and Service

The forecast is looking encouraging for our Remembrance Sunday commemorations. Met Office data suggests conditions should be dry and calm, with temperatures around 8-9°C, although it may feel a little cooler.

Rain is unlikely, with only a small chance of a light shower.

Overall, it looks set to be good weather for the parade, the service and the two-minute silence at 11am.

If you’re joining us, a warm coat and perhaps a pair of gloves would be sensible.

We look forward to coming together with the Newton Abbot community to remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed. ❤️

A big thank you to Wayne Robinson, our Branch Parade Marshal, and Chloe, who have been manning the Poppy Appeal table at Sainsbury’s throughout the week.

Wayne has gone above and beyond, stepping in at short notice and helping ensure the Appeal runs smoothly.

Alongside the time spent at Sainsbury’s, he has also delivered poppy boxes, collection tins, school boxes and wreaths to Newton Abbot, Abbotskerswell, Stover and Broadhempston.

As our Poppy Appeal Organiser, Karen Lewis, says, we would have been in real difficulty without his help.

We’re grateful to both Wayne and Chloe for giving their time and energy to support this year’s Appeal. It’s the commitment of volunteers like them that helps the Poppy Appeal reach communities across our area.

Thank you both for everything you’re doing. ❤️

We’re grateful to everyone giving their time to collect, to NatWest for helping make the collection possible, and to the members of the public who stop to donate and show their support.

Every contribution helps the Royal British Legion continue supporting serving personnel, veterans and their families.
Thank you to everyone playing their part in this year’s Appeal.

Newton’s Place lights up for Remembrance

A lovely sight in the heart of Newton Abbot. Poppies are being projected onto the wall at Newton’s Place, providing a striking reminder of the season of Remembrance.

It’s wonderful to see our town marking this time of year in different ways, creating moments to pause and reflect on all those who have served and sacrificed, and the families and communities whose lives have been affected by conflict.

Thank you to everyone helping keep Remembrance visible across Newton Abbot.

Have you spotted the poppies at Newton’s Place, or another display around town? We’d love to see your photos in the comments. ❤️
