The Royal British Legion is recognised as the national custodian of Remembrance.

Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today.

In November 2022, our Standard Bearer had the privilege of participating in the RBL Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall with the Branch Standard. " It was an honour to be amongst Veterans, Serving, Reserve personal and their families on such a prestigious occasion and also in front of the new King and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces."
