Members of the Royal British Legion in Hillmorton met up at the Ex-Servicemen’s Club to enjoy a traditional Christmas buffet and beer.

While reviewing their past year and planning for the months ahead, comment was made on the impressive attendance at this year’s Remembrance Sunday, which attracted 2,000 people and, it was noted how successful the VE and VJ celebrations had been, in terms of turnout and participation.

Chair of the Hillmorton Branch, Kathryn Lawrance, said: “2025 has been a very busy year for the Hillmorton branch. We organised important 80th anniversary events such as the liberation of Auschwitz, Victory in Europe and Victory in Japan and we participated in annual events such as the National Armed Forces Day and the annual Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service.

“We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported our events in 2025 and our wish for next year is that the Hillmorton Community will continue to support their British Legion branch in the way they have.”
