SIR – The committee of the Royal British Legion (Worcester City Branch) wish to give a huge thank you to Derek and Martin who unselfishly gave up two weeks of their own time to be in CrownGate Shopping Centre where the public donated money to the Poppy Appeal.

Their huge effort has raised a large portion of the £10,000 so far raised in the Worcester City Poppy Appeal.

An exact figure will be given at a later date.

Also to CrownGate shopping centre management committee for all their support that they gave to these men.

Thirdly to mention the poppy collectors on Saturday, November 8, who stood out in the cold collecting, especially the Sea Cadets and St John Ambulance.

Finally to you the public for donating to the Poppy Appeal.

JENNY POYNER,

Secretary, RBL Worcester City Branch.
