Centenary of Royal British Legion and Abingdon War Memorial


There are a hundred poppies outside the Royal British Legion because it is the Centenary of Royal British Legion. (Clare, the poppy collection organiser for Abingdon, helped organise this.)

The War Memorial in Abingdon is also one hundred years old. The opening ceremony was in September 1921. The remembrance day service this year will be on November 14th.

On the Markey Place in Abingdon there was a poppy stall, and army cadets were selling poppies round town.

The poppy stall was one of about twenty stalls taking part in the Local Excellence Market on the Market Place.

In St Nicolas Church the Kennington Memory Club had a large charity sale.
