While traditional celebrations couldn't go ahead, British Legions across the county still managed to mark a landmark year for the charity.

The Royal British Legion hit its 100th anniversary on Saturday (May 15), and Wath Brow British Legion – along with so many others throughout Cumbria and beyond – marked the occasion with a scaled-down celebration.

Legion member, Dave Farrell, said: "In normal times, we could have had a large service for everyone to attend, but unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment.

"It's still extremely special though, and it's such an important anniversary, so we're really pleased we [were] able to mark the occasion at all."

With just five people present, the legion held a service at the Cleator Moor War Memorial, remembering all the good the charity has done.

Set up in 1921, just after the First World War, the Royal British Legion was created to support servicemen and women, veterans and their families during and after their time in active service.

The charity has helped injured, traumatised and financially-strained active and ex-service people throughout the UK since its launch – and continues to do this priceless work today.

Mr Farrell added: "The service went very well, and was a fitting way to mark such an important event."
