Poppy-themed face masks have brought a Remembrance boost of more than £2,500 for Angus veterans.
It led to a flood of orders in the lead up to Remembrance Sunday, when a cheque for £2,514 was presented to Legion Scotland national chairman Charlie Brown, and his wife, Margaret, the Forfar Legion branch chairman and secretary.
Kylie said the family had been overwhelmed by the response and delighted to be able to support the Poppy Scotland appeal.
“We are absolutely amazed at the amount and more orders have come in since,” she said.
“David was very emotional on Sunday, a proud dad and partner, and very sad for the friends faces he saw being shared on Facebook who weren’t as fortunate as him.
“We all shared a little tear – for me, it was seeing the young ages of these lost military heroes, and all the partners and children left behind,” she said.
The masks fundraiser was a family affair involving three-year-old daughter, Thea and David’s daughters, Darcy, 10, and Amelia, 14.
Meanwhile, the Remembrance commemoration effort of youngsters at Glamis school has been appreciated by the local community.
The nursery pupils created painted poppies from plastic bottle ends which have been displayed on the fence at the Strathmore Road school for passers-by to see.
