From our December Newsletter:

The Branch has had a busy year again. Highlights have included the granting of The Freedom of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, participation in Flag Raising for Armed Forces Week and in the Armed Forces Day event in the Royal Arsenal. 

We were also represented by our Standard Bearers at a number of Parades and events throughout the area (a big thank you to Roy and Lilly for this) and also at the Garden of Remembrance. 

The Branch was represented at Woolwich Town Hall for the Olympic Torch Relay when the Torch Bearer was lead down Wellington Street by the splendid horses and riders of The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery - a wonderful sight to see.

Over the Remembrance weekend we were on parade at Plumstead and Woolwich Cemeteries as well as having a good turnout at the annual Church Service at St Michael's. I am also aware that some Members also took part in other Remembrance events in the region.
