* The Lord Lieutenant and civic leaders at the Poppy Appeal launch in Rhyl.
Officials of the Llangollen branch of the Royal British Legion recently attended the official launch of the annual Poppy Appeal in Rhyl.
Hosted
by the legion’s Rhyl branch, a highlight of the event was the release of 100
red balloons in the town’s High Street to mark the centenary of the RBL.
With
the Lord Lieutenant of Clwyd, Henry Fetherstonhaugh, performing
the official launch assisted by the chair of Denbighshire County Council, Cllr
Brian Blakeley, the event also featured displays by the Army’s Royal Electrical
and Mechanical Engineers and Royal Logistical Corps along with the police and
ambulance service.
Children
from local schools were amongst the large crowd who turned out to watch the
event.
Music was provided by the Beulah Brass whose bugler sounded the Last Post and Reveille.
