THE Richmond branch of The Royal British Legion will be opening a Remembrance Poppy Stall in the Richmond indoor market on Saturday, October 27 from 10am to 4pm every day until Saturday, November 10.

It will provide poppies, wreaths, badges and other Remembrance items. Pre-ordered wreaths can be collected from the stall at any time during the opening period.

The gazebo will be in the Market Square on the three Saturdays prior to November 11 and many shops and businesses in the town will have collecting tins.
