MAYOR of Barnsley John Clarke was on hand to kick-start the town’s Poppy Appeal last weekend.
He met with representatives of the Royal British Legion at the Alhambra on Saturday to buy the first poppy, signifying the beginning of 2024’s fundraising scheme.
Barnsley’s RBL branch also announced their Festival of Remembrance event, which will be held at St Mary’s Church in the town centre on Thursday from 7pm.
Goff Griffiths, from the RBL, said: “It was great to have the mayor and mayoress at the event and we’re very much looking forward to welcoming them back on Thursday.”
