The launch of the Poppy Appeal in Lichfield

The annual event helps raise money for the charity and Michael Fabricant MP said he was pleased to get the chance to meet some of those behind the scenes.

“I learned that as far as the Poppy Appeal is concerned, Lichfield is one of the most generous cities per head of population in the West Midlands,” he added.

“One collecotor I met, single-handedly raised almost £7,000\. This money goes to the care of the injured and their families and the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

“We shall remember them.”

Mr Fabricant confirmed he will also be laying Wreaths on behalf of HM Government and Parliament in Lichfield on Remembrance Sunday and at the National Memorial Arboretum on November 11.
