Against the backdrop of more than 80 steel poppies bought with donations from local businesses, a large group of bikers gathered to launch the latest Poppy Appeal in Llangollen’s Centenary Square on Sunday morning.
More than 40 motorcyclists, many of them forces veterans, stopped off in the town during their 180-mile ride from Wrexham to Llandudno marking the start of the Royal British Legion’s 2019 fundraising campaign.
Alongside the local Legion branch they took part in the traditional Service of Remembrance led by Llangollen vicar, Father Lee Taylor, which included the sounding of Last Post and Reveille and the observation of the minute’s silence leading up to 11am.
