REMEMBRANCE
The Veterans Charity was founded on an act of Remembrance with the creation of our memorial at Pegasus Bridge in Normandy. Paying tribute to the fallen has been a key part of our work since.
We created Routes of Remembrance and Ribbon of Poppies; two special initiatives which involve communities across the globe in poignant acts of Remembrance. Our initial idea led to a fabulous collaboration with Great Western Railway and the creation of Poppies To Paddington which takes place every November.

In 2020, we approached GWR to request support for an idea to help keep Remembrance moving during the challenges of the Covid Pandemic. The support from GWR since has been truly outstanding and 'Poppies To Paddington' has grown into a key act of Remembrance which unites communities across the GWR network.
For 2025, we were extremely proud that Her Majesty The Queen, attended the Remembrance Service at Paddington Station and also travelled by train from Chippenham where she boarded the train with many wreaths. Among the wreaths were three that had been brought to Chippenham by three Ambassadors for The Veterans Charity, Martin Weathers, Ian Parsons and Major Jason Mather.
Our CEO, Danny Greeno and two of our Trustees, General Sir Bob Pascoe and Iain Henderson, together with five of our fabulous Volunteers, Jess Cooper, Andrew Wareham, Lew Campbell, Alan Edgington and Robert Clarke also attended the event at Paddington.
Our friends at GWR have put together the wonderful video below which shows more of what took place on a very special Armistice Day.
