Ballyclare RBL branch promotes the importance of remembrance with Co Antrim school pupils
The Ballyclare branch of the Royal British Legion has been highlighting the importance of remembrance through a programme with local schools.
Representatives of the branch visited primary and post-primary schools in the area to take part in assemblies in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday.
Each school was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for their support through fundraising, education, and participation in acts of remembrance.
These visits were part of a wider series of events organised by the branch, which began with the launch of this year’s Poppy Appeal in the Ballyclare Asda store on October 24.
Other highlights included a Veteran’s Breakfast, bringing together ex-service personnel for fellowship and reflection, and culminated with the well-attended Remembrance Sunday parades in Ballyclare and Ballynure on November 9.
A spoksperson for the branch extended thanks to all schools and the community for their continued support in keeping the spirit of remembrance alive.
