Henry Smith MP has thanked local Royal British Legion volunteers, and has bought his annual commemorative wreath at the County Mall stand ahead of the Civic Remembrance Service which will held at St John the Baptist's Church on Remembrance Sunday, 9th November.
Henry said;
“It is always a privilege to meet those Crawley volunteers who have taken the time to help the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal again this year.
“I hope all townsfolk will wear their poppy with pride in support of our troops, past and present, and in remembrance of those who have fallen.
“We will continue to think of the dangers they put themselves in to defend our freedoms.
“I have been campaigning on behalf of members of our Armed Forces and their families; sometimes publicly, and other times behind the scenes.
“Recently, I approached Crawley Town Football Club to ask if they would join the Tickets for Troops scheme, and I was delighted to confirm last week they officially agreed to do so.
“I look forward to paying my own respects at the Civic Service of Remembrance at St John’s on Sunday, 9th November.”
