On July 10, Horncastle Royal British Legion came together as an organisation for the first time since March 2020 when a bench to mark the 100 years of the Royal British Legion was unveiled at Hamerton Gardens, in Horncastle.

The unveiling was attended by representatives of several organisations from the town, including Horncastle Lions, Stanhope Hall, Horncastle War Memorial Centre,
Horncastle Walkers are Welcome, as well as Horncastle county councillor William Gray and representatives of Horncastle Town Council, including Councillor Fiona Martin MBE, the Town Mayor, and branch members.

Lincolnshire Royal British Legion county chairman, John Johnson, attended and performed the unveiling of the bench which was then 
dedicated to the continued work of the Royal British Legion and all those lost in conflicts over the last 100 years, by county padre Canon John Thorold.

Rev Charles Patrick led the prayers.
