Children to play part in launch of Poppy Appeal

Wednesday 24th October 2007, 12:00AM BST.

CHILDREN will pay tribute on Sunday to Islanders who have died in conflict.

They will place crosses on the graves of all 135 Islanders who have lost their lives in service to mark the launch of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2007. The crosses will be placed at the same time as veterans, politicians and members of the public gather at the Cenotaph to open the field of remembrance at 11.30 am. Hundreds of veterans are expected to attend the event which takes place two weeks before Remembrance Day on 11 November.
