The new display commemorating the centenary of the Royal British Legion at the Norden war memorial
Two new displays commemorating the centenary of the Royal British Legion have been installed by Rochdale In Bloom in Norden and Rochdale (Friday 14 May).
The new display at the Norden war memorial consists of a large mosaic of the new Royal British Legion logo, created by artist Gill Rothwell – who created the poppy mosaic stone installed last October for Remembrance Day – alongside a ‘100’ display made up of marigold flowers.
A small service of appreciation took place in Norden, attended by the president of the Rochdale branch of the legion, David Forbes, Peter Clegg, President of Rochdale & District Fusiliers Association, plus veteran and local businessman Harry Bell, Norden councillors Peter Winkler and Jim Gartside, and members of Rochdale in Bloom.
