EARLIER this month Joan Grant and Jane Sansom, members of Crediton branch of the Royal British Legion, ran a stall at the Exeter Antiques Fair, in aid of RBL.

Their efforts raised £200 for the charity and John Shaw, chairman, Crediton branch, RBL, extended his thanks on behalf of the branch to Joan and Jane.

He also adds a timely reminder that the period of National Remembrance is coming soon, with the "Poppy Appeal" and the Services of the Act of Remembrance.

He said: “The people of Crediton and District have always been very generous.

“Whilst our time and money seems to be in ever greater demand today, please remember that others gave their time and lives for us.”
