It was once again really inspiring to see so many people from across Mansfield united to remember this historic day. Thank you to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, Mansfield Branch for organising this.”

Your thoughts on whether we do enough to honour our war heroesThe organisation was in the centre all week selling poppies to Four Seasons’ customers to help raise money for the Poppy Appeal, successfully raising more than £11,500. The charity helps those in need within the British Armed Forces, supporting members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, veterans and their families.
