SATURDAY 11. NOVEMBER ARMISTICE DAY. Monument aux Morts, Place des Victoires 10:30 am
In Menton, we mark Remembrance Day with a lovely little ceremony, which new members might enjoy.
Horses, soldiers and nurses in First World War uniforms, Standard Bearers, including the British Legion, all present a great photo opportunity.
A poignant commemoration, in honour of those who have fallen for their countries in both wars. The mayor of Menton, Yves Juhel, will speak at the ceremony.
The British Association de Menton, traditionally will lay a poppy wreath on behalf of the Royal British Legion and expatriates.
The RBL of the Riviera have not sent new supplies of poppies, but we still have a small supply and a collection box,
Due to the fact that the Louvre will be closed the following two weeks, Poppies will be available at Menton Men, 24. October, 31October, 07. November and on the morning of 11. November, at the monument.
After the ceremony, we have booked a table at the Tennis Club for lunch. Please let me know if you would like to join us.
