We were delighted to welcome Jenny Vere to RDS HQ today.

Jenny is the local representative for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal here in our Norfolk village, and she very kindly visited us to deliver a wreath for next week’s remembrance service at our village war memorial.

While here, Jenny enjoyed a tour of our site, made sure every member of staff had their poppy, and caught up with many familiar faces she knows through her long-standing connection to the village.

Since moving here in 1976, she has seen many of our team - and their children - pass through the village primary school, where she still leads music and religious instruction.

A true stalwart of North Lopham’s village life, Jenny continues to give her time tirelessly each year, taking her collection tin and box of poppies from door to door to support this vital cause.

As Remembrance Day approaches, we’re proud to play our small part in honouring those who served and to support the continued work of the Royal British Legion. Our team will be laying the wreath Jenny delivered as part of the village service, which also sees local children walk up from the primary school to lay their own crosses and mementoes in remembrance of the fallen.
