COVID 19

We will continue to monitor government advice for mass gatherings to ensure the health and safety of our participants, which remains our priority, and update accordingly. Should government guidelines necessitate, The Royal British Legion may need to reduce the number of spaces in the Parade at late notice. Please ensure your representatives are aware of this possibility.
