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.

We are please to launch this years Poppy Appeal with the Mayor of Sunderland, Councillor Ehthesham Haque, purchasing the first Poppy for the Branch Chairman, Phil Eggleston.
