As Remembrance Day approaches, members of the Lindfield branch of the Royal British Legion are busy preparing for the annual Poppy Appeal and memorial services.

On Sunday 12th November, wreaths will be laid at the memorial at 2.45pm followed by a Remembrance Service at All Saints Church, starting at 3pm.
Refreshments will be available after the service and all residents are invited to attend. Lindfield will also be represented at the national Festival of Remembrance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, when standard bearer Paul Buckland will join the parade.
