Can you help find a veteran with an unclaimed forces pension?
– Between 2020 and 2022, over 4,000 preserved Armed Forces pensions went unclaimed.
– The pension is not paid automatically. Veterans must apply to Veterans UK using AFPS Form 8 or call 0800 085 3600 for info.

As part of the D-Day 80 commemorations taking place in June Town council are running a window competition. Leaflets about the competition have been delivered to shops and businesses around the town.
Look out for the special windows in the lead up to 6th June. Lest we forget

We’ve considered the Pageantmaster’s recommended events to mark D-Day 80 and are working in partnership with @BLANDFORDRBL on an outdoor service, exhibition, a D-Day rations lunch and concert. Is there anything you would like to see take place? – at Blandford Forum, England

The Royal British Legion's #PoppyAppeal launches today and celebrities including Dame Joanna Lumley, @MicaParisSoul MBE and @GylesB1 are wearing their plastic-free poppy to show the Armed Forces community their support. Have you got your poppy yet?
ALT Dame Joanna Lumley, Mica Paris MBE and Gyles Brandreth all smiling and wearing the new plastic-free poppy. All three of them are wearing their poppy on the left side of their chest. Gyles is also holding one in his right hand. These are three images that have been together side by side to make a collage.

Honoured to represent the Blandford Branch of the RBL for the Service at the Cross of Sacrifice, on the 40th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Falkland Islands.
A very special group of individuals, and one of the main reasons I joined the Royal Marines.
Freedom is never FREE.

Blandford is fortunate to have a strong veterans community. However, I find myself speaking to more veterans who are struggling. Please do use Op Courage or come along to the Blandford Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club

A thought provoking and very special rededication service earlier today for the town WW1 memorial tablets outside the Corn exchange followed by a service at the cemetery.
I was very grateful to be able to pay my respects to a generation lost to war.
