Leighton Buzzard

With just over a week to go until the 80th Anniversary of D-Day (Thursday 6th June).

Here's a gentle reminder of what the Branch has in store to commemorate and celebrate.

Thursday 6th June...

We start at Linslade. A service of remembrance will take place at the Memorial Gardens in Mentmore Road at 11am. Welcome followed by 2 mins silence and wreath laying. The service is open to the community and we'd love to see you join us and pay respect.

Then we move to Leighton Town War Memorial. A service of remembrance in Church Square at 7pm. A service lead by the Legion, Blessing by Mother Kirsty, wreath laying by Town Mayor (Cllr David Bligh) and RBL President (Cllr Mark Freeman). The service is open to the community and we'd love to see you all come and join us to pay respect.

At both services we're pleased to have former "State Trumpeter" John Ravenor.

Also at both services there will be an opportunity for members of the public to lay wreaths and purchase memory crosses (small donation) to place in the gardens.

Then on Saturday 8th June we celebrate. Join us with The Buckinghamshire (Midshires) Band of the RBL. The Baptist Church, Hockliffe Street at 7pm is the venue. Tickets are £10 for Adults, £5 for U16. Tickets on the door. Come along, wave a flag and maybe a bit of a sing-a-long. It would be great to see you all and of course you'll be supporting the RBL.
