A big shout-out to our very own Tom Watson , who has been out in London with his RAF colleagues, raising money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal! 🌺

It's fantastic to see Tom helping spread the Poppy Appeal message and supporting our Armed Forces community.

Thank you, Tom, and all your RAF colleagues, for your fantastic efforts. You make Filey proud! 👏

We'd also love to hear from any serving members of the Armed Forces in the local area who would like to get involved and support their local RBL branch. Your experience, ideas and support would be very welcome!

Every poppy counts. Every contribution makes a difference. ❤️
