Oldbury Royal British Legion Branch AGM on Wednesday 3rd December 2025.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to the current and past members of the Branch Committee, without your dedication to those who serve and have served, their families and dependents, we couldn't do the work we do.

We are not just an ex-service community, we are an extended family, where if needed, you step up, my sincere thanks to you all.

Thank you

I have been informed about the sad passing of a long time Legion member Mr Derek Fox.

My condolences go out to his family and friends.

RiP my friend.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to the Sandwell Mayor, councillor Steve Melia,

I have been volunteering for the RBL for 35+ years now, normally on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, I am on the ground with the public before and after services.

Today I had the extreme pleasure of being invited into the Mayor’s Parlour, and being able to see the exhibits in there from the towns that make up Sandwell.

Also today, on parade we had Deputy Lord-Lieutenant John Wood, who is coming to the end of his term in office as Deputy Lord-Lieutenant, I just want to wish him the very best in his retirement, what a gentleman.

People see the services, but do not realise the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, to make the Remembrance Services go on in the six towns that make up Sandwell.

We have Armed Forces Community meetings throughout the year with Sandwell Council for which I cannot thank them enough.

But we couldn't do it without two outstanding Council liason officers, Sarah Payne who has moved to a different department now, and my long time Mayoral office contact Ruth Darby.

On behalf of the service community of Sandwell, I need to say thank you to everyone who works tirelessly at Sandwell Council, to show that we Do Remember

Armistice Day 11.11.2025

The Mayor of Sandwell, the Deputy Lord-Lieutenant, together with members of the Royal British Legion, Sandwell Council, and members of the public, took part in the a small Service of Remembrance honouring those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We remember them all — past and present — who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

They shall grow not old, as we are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.

Lest We Forget.

Many thanks for your support.Thanks to Sharon Beard for the photos
