Sea cadets

and Army cadets were in Abingdon today, with stalls on the Market Place, and selling poppies in the town centre.

The Mayor, Councillor Margaret Crick, and Ena Mitchell, a war widow now aged 100, were also there to support the event.

Clare, who organised the selling of poppies in Abingdon and the festival, is seen with Richard, from the MG Car Club, who invited along some red MGs.

That included a 1966 MG Magnette, specially decorated with silhouettes and poppies. The owners, Jeremy and Judith, from Aylesbury told me that the MG Magnette has done 55,000 miles in all that time.

The display case at Abingdon Library has a leaflet from the Signing of the Armistice in 1918.

2018 is the centenary of the end of World War I, and 5000 of the poppies sold this year in Abingdon have 1918-2018 printed on the leaves.
