The Mayor of Brent Councillor Amer Agha is sporting his poppy to support the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal, and encourages other residents to do the same.
The Poppy Appeal runs until Remembrance Day, and money raised goes towards to the Royal British Legion's work in supporting active and former servicepeople from British and Commonwealth forces.
Poppies and donation tins can be found in Brent Civic Centre, and in businesses across the borough.
I am proud to support the RBL's Poppy Appeal, and to wear my poppy in to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and service of those who have served in British or Commonwealth forces, and particularly those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
Cllr Amer Agha, Mayor of Brent, said: "I am proud to support the RBL's Poppy Appeal, and to wear my poppy in to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and service of those who have served in British or Commonwealth forces, and particularly those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
