Join March

I appeal to the townspeople of Barry to lend their support to the Royal British Legion Poppy Day Appeal this year and to give as generously as possible when buying poppies.

The Royal British Legion will then be able, through the Poppy Fund, to continue its excellent work on behalf of ex-servicemen and women.

Arrangements have been made again this year, in conjunction with the Barry branch of the Royal British Legion, to hold a wreath laying service at the memorial hall cenotaph at 10.55am on Sunday, November 14, which will be followed by a Remembrance Day service in the Memorial Hall Theatre. These services are open to members of the public.

Weather permitting, at the cenotaph and in the Memorial Hall Theatre, the uniformed and ex-service organisations will parade through part of the town, forming up at Holton Road (King Square) at 10am for a 10.25am march off.

They will march along Holton Road, Broad Street (wreaths will be laid at the Merchant Navy Memorial) into Gladstone Road and then to the cenotaph.

In the event of wet weather , organisations and members of the public are requested to go straight to the Memorial Hall Theatre by 10.45am.

Cllr June Germon, Barry Town Council, Gladstone Road, Barry.
