Veteran twin brothers Brian and John are marking their 90th birthday and an incredible milestone – raising over £90,000 as long‑standing Poppy Appeal collectors.

Both brothers served in the British Army from 1956-1958 as part of National Service, with postings to Germany and the West Indies.

"In some of our old photographs in the Army, I can’t tell us apart!”

When they finished National Service, legal support from the RBL helped them regain their previous positions with their employer on full pay.

“It made a huge difference as otherwise we would have been unemployed.

“We are so pleased and proud to have collected over £90K in just the last nine years, to help many service men and women.”

Both twins describe their 30 years of volunteering as incredibly rewarding.

“If you are thinking of doing collecting, don’t hold back, it is so satisfying,” says John.

In a few weeks they’ll be celebrating their 90th birthday in style with all their friends and family.

Join us in wishing them a happy birthday 🥳

A great morning on the square yesterday. Lots of interest in the memorabilia and the foals. And a few new members which is excellent. We’re on our way to achieving 100 members for our centenary year 🎉 and we made £116 on the cake raffle. I’m sure the lucky winner enjoyed a slice with a cuppa yesterday afternoon 🎂
Look out for our next event and come join us.

81 years ago, millions in the Allied nations celebrated the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Whilst fighting continued in the Far East until August, Victory in Europe Day was a significant moment in bringing an end to the global conflict.

Up and down the country people breathed a sigh of relief and took to the streets to celebrate.

Today we pay tribute to the Second World War generation, whose service and sacrifice protected the freedoms we enjoy today.
