Pudsey & Farsley Royal British Legion Branch are walking over 11 kilometres on Saturday 31st October, visiting the War memorials and War Grave sites associated to the Pudsey’s old borough, writes Damon Sugden.
They will pay their respects and plant Poppy Crosses to the fallen as they go.
Starting 10am on Saturday the walk is planned to last approximately four hours and is in lieu of our cancelled annual parade.
