Graham Stuart, Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness, is proud to become the Honorary President of the Royal British Legion Beverley Branch.
The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921 and is comprised of 180,000 members, 110,000 volunteers and a network of partners and charities; making it our country’s largest Armed Forces charity. They work to provide lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families in a range of ways, from rehabilitation to supporting their transition to civilian life.
During a ceremony at Beverley War Memorial, Graham was presented with the badge of office for his new role as President of the Beverley Branch of the Royal British Legion. This ceremony was led by Lt Col Ron Laden, who is the Honorary Secretary of the Beverley Branch, Jim Gault, who is the Chairman of the Beverley Branch and a Scots Guards of The Falklands Campaign, and Martin Fowler, who is the Standard Bearer.
After the ceremony, Jim Gault said: “I am very pleased that Graham has accepted the role of Honorary President of the Beverley Branch. Graham works hard for our local community and it is wonderful to have his support.”
Following his appointment, Graham commented: “It is a privilege to be asked by the Beverley Branch of the Royal British Legion to be their Honorary President. The organisation does important work in our community to support the many brave men and women, and their families, who defend our freedoms, so I am delighted to support them.”
