TRIBUTES have been paid to a former president of the Royal British Legion’s Henley and Peppard branch, who died last month.
Brigadier Malcolm Page MBE, who was 94, was praised for his commitment to the community and charity work during his funeral service at Reading Crematorium.
Only a small group of family, friends and well-wishers could attend the humanist ceremony because of social distancing regulations but it was broadcast online.
Mourners included his sister Yvonne Meachen and her children, Kate Osbourne and Stephen Meachen, as well as branch president John Green, Brig Page’s immediate successor Lt Col Peter Blaker and Henley Mayor Ken Arlett.

THE former president of the Royal British Legion’s Henley and Peppard branch has died.

He served the Legion, which organises the annual Poppy Appeal, for more than a quarter of a century. In 1982 he founded the Henley-Borama Friendship Association, which maintains a link with the Somalian city and organises cultural exchange visits.
Brig Page’s military career spanned more than 30 years and he attained his rank while serving in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in the Seventies.
