Simon Kirby, the MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, joined the Mayor of Brighton and Hove on Saturday (October 31) at Brighton Marina to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.
Simon has sold poppies in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven to raise money for veterans and their families for the last six years. Money raised for the Royal British Legion goes directly to their welfare work providing through-life care to anyone currently serving in the British Armed Forces, those who have previously served and their families.
Simon said: “It was great to see so many people at the weekend supporting this brilliant cause and to be able to collect so much money to help our service personnel and veterans.
“I would encourage all local residents to donate and wear a poppy with pride.”
