The Royal British Legion

A day late, but important to all Armed Forces, their families and all those they support.

There were also a wealth of tributes from service personnel and members of the Armed Forces community, as well as celebrity supporters including Ross Kemp and Stephen Fry.

A special edition RBL centenary coin will also be used for the coin toss of the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Leicester City at Wembley.
RBL director general Charles Byrne said: “In this, our centenary year, we are focused firmly on our future.

“Our proud heritage and 100 years of experience supporting the Armed Forces community have built the strong foundations of an organisation fit for the next 100.

“We remain committed to our mission to ensure that those who have given so much for their country get the fair treatment, support and recognition they deserve.”

The RBL was formed in the aftermath of the First World War to fight for the rights of those who had given so much.
Today, the charity continues to provide support to the Armed Forces community and challenge injustices on their behalf.
