RESIDENTS will help brighten up this year’s Remembrance period with special poppies.

In commemoration of the centenary of the end of the First World War, the Royal British Legion have teamed up with Reading FC to produce a unique, special edition poppy pin.

People can show their support for the brave men and women who lost their lives, serving their country during the conflict, by purchasing the pin for £2.99.

All of the profits from the sale of these pins will go to the Royal British Legion, helping them to continue their vital work providing care and support to all members of the Armed Forces Community.

This new poppy scheme allows members of the community to show their respect for those who lost their lives in the war, as well as supporting a great cause in their endeavours.
