105 Years of Royal British Legion Westhoughton Branch

Mayor of Westhoughton Councillor Sarita Chohan writes:

“What a wonderful and successful day celebrating the 105th Anniversary of the Westhoughton Royal British Legion held at Westhoughton Cricket Club.

The event was organised by Chairman Marcus Pollard, supported by an army of dedicated volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes to make the day such a success. Thank you also to Westhoughton Town Council for supporting this special celebration.

It was lovely to welcome distinguished guests including Deputy Lord Lieutenant Mr Philip Britton MBE, Mayor of Bolton Cllr Mohammed Iqbal, Mayor of Blackrod Cllr Richard Harrison and Mayoress Sarah Harrison.

The community spirit was truly alive with fantastic entertainment, live music and people coming together in the glorious weather to celebrate this remarkable milestone.

I was incredibly proud to be part of such a special occasion.

God bless the Royal British Legion and the community of Westhoughton
