KEEPING TIME: Tom Carradine will be performing popular songs from a century ago
The town’s Poppy Appeal will be launched the day before [October 25] from 11am to 12pm at the Big Bridge.
The bridge has been decorated with knitted poppies that were created by members of the community.
They were stitched together by a group who regularly meet up with local historian and Royal British Legion deputy organiser Pam Mills.
The poppies spell out the words ‘Thank you’, which forms part of a national campaign expressing gratitude for the sacrifice of Armed Forces veterans, and ‘1918-2018 3000’ in recognition of the number of men from the town who went off to fight in WWI.
The launch will be attended by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Jacques Arnold.
Mrs Mills said: “We wanted to do something specific to mark this year’s campaign by the Royal British Legion, so a nice big ‘thank you’, among other things, were made to show our appreciation for all our Armed Forces personnel.
“Everyone is welcome to come to the unveiling – especially veterans and their families.
“We as a town have always supported the remembrance, and the Armistice service this year will also prove a bit special.”
