“What a splendid night that was – Royal British Legion Farnborough’s 90th Anniversary Celebration” This is how The Mayor of Rushmoor, Cllr Alex Walsh, decribed the evening in his BLOG. He went on to say the following: Royal British Legion Farnborough’s RBL 90 Celebration provided the “once-in-a-lifetime never-to-be-forgotten occasion” promised in the programme The Mayoress and I were piped in by the Highland Piper (Every Guest was presented with a Souvenir Medallion) The evening started fittingly with the Standards being marched in and a welcome by Aldershot MP Gerald Howarth, who paid tribute to the tremendous work of RBL in providing welfare support for the armed forces. After a Singalong led by entertainer Diane Moore, RBL Farnborough President Lou Pozzo carried out the cake cutting ceremony Then, we were delighted with the lovely rendition by soloist Hanna Curtis of the commemorative song, especially written for the RBL 90 Celebration by 14-year-old Reece Fitzgerald The Old Basing RBL Corps of Drums came in with a spectacular display of luminescent drumming in the dark There followed a presentation to Mercy Chapman for her exceptional efforts in fundraising for RBL Farnborough The Highland Piper then re-appeared in the hall and piped to RBL President Lou Pozzo for Quaich - a traditional Scottish farewell drink of a dram of whisky in a quaich, which is a shell-like shallow cup The Highland Piper and Aldershot MP Gerald Howarth then had the honour of drinking their whisky from the Quaich What a warming way to round off a splendid night, which also raised £567.00 for the very worthy cause of the Poppy Appeal
