A CONCERT by the Dun Valley Singers was held in Pitton Village Hall to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

It was introduced by branch president Major General Michael D Regan, who paid tribute to the work of the branch and the dedication of its Poppy Appeal collectors.

The branchis lucky to have more than 80 members and volunteers including a great team of collectors, co-ordinated by Pat Sheppard, who raise more than £5,000 a year (she could do with one more in Pitton). Peter Shepherd and Andrew Poppe ensured no one went thirsty.

Lockerly Scouts under Andy Bravary ensured that anyone who wanted to donate was able to do so.

The free concert raised £418.
