REMEMBRANCE: Step back in time with these poignant pictures of Mansfield Poppy Appeal launches

This year’s Mansfield's appeal launched on Friday October 24 at the Civic Centre, with stands and collections now taking place across the region.

Last year the Mansfield branch of the Royal British Legion (RBL) raised a whopping £51,382:87 and organisers are hoping to surpass that total this year.

With that in mind we’ve taken a nostalgic walk down memory lane and found some pictures from Poppy Appeal launches over the year in Mansfield.
