The RBLR is a national Legion branch, which is administered through counties and areas, due to its large active membership of around 5500 members.  RBLR members have a love of all things motorcycling and can often be seen out and about wearing their distinctive RBLR waistcoats.

Branch Details:
They cover the County area and are happy to attend RBL fundraising events by either supporting the branch at their stand or by bringing their own RBLR stand, if required.

As the majority of events are in the warmer months, they can be extremely busy with their own functions.  If a Branch would like them to support an event, please make contact at the earliest opportunity, with details of what is required, along with the name of the County Branch and contact details of the organiser.  A member of the RBLR (Yorkshire) Branch will then confirm attendance (or otherwise) and liaise with the Branch accordingly.

Funerals:
The RBLR (Yorkshire) Branch can also provide a free 'motorbike escort' at a Veteran's funeral and have provided this service for more than three years, escorting over 35 Veterans on their final journey.

Branches are reminded that this service is still available but they need to make contact in good time, giving the Veteran's name, date and time of the funeral.

They will also need the family's permission for them to attend.  The details of the Funeral Director involved are also needed and they will deal directly with them.  The RBLR (Yorkshire) Branch will not contact the family unless told otherwise.

On a lighter note, the Branch are also willing to provide escorts for weddings, Proms and birthday treats etc.  Just ask and they will let you know what can be done.

For further details regarding the RBLR (Yorkshire) Branch and any of the information provided above, in the first instance, please contact the Royal British Legion's helpline on 0808 802 8080.  It's open seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm.
