On the 6th June 2024, RBL Mitcham held D-Day Commemorations in the town centre.
RBL Mitcham D-Day Commemoration event in the town centre. We had two gazebos, one showing actual D-Day footage courtesy of Imperial War Museum as well as upto date RBL story of a D-Day Veteran before his journey to Normandy, the other gazebo used for fundraising and promoting the RBL message, and in the middle our bagpipe player which drew in the crowds.
One of our committee, also a Standard Bearer attended Langley Oaks Care Home in South Croydon to assist in their D-Day Commemorations with the invitation to light the eternal lamp.
The
feedback from the crowds was great, as nothing like this has ever been done by RBL Mitcham, so watch out for our 80th Anniversary of VE-Day, 8th May 2025.
