The annual campaign to support war veterans, widows, and soldiers was launched this week with the presentation of a poppy to the Governor. Andrew Murdoch received the symbolic poppy from the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s Honorary Colonel David Gibbons, marking the start of Bermuda’s Poppy Appeal.

This appeal raises funds for former and serving soldiers in need. Poppies will be available at various locations around Hamilton today and tomorrow.

Residents were reminded that the Remembrance Day parade will be held on Tuesday to honor those who fell in the two world wars and other Allied Forces campaigns. The ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. on Front Street.

Wreaths will be laid at the Cenotaph by Mr. Murdoch, Premier David Burt, and other dignitaries.
