Swansea launches annual Poppy Appeal with city market ceremony
Launch at Swansea Market
The launch took place at Swansea Market, chosen as the venue to bring the appeal into the heart of the city. The event was attended by the Lord Mayor of Swansea, Cllr Cheryl Philpott, Council Leader Cllr Rob Stewart, Cllr Wendy Lewis, the council’s Armed Forces Champion, and representatives from the Royal British Legion.
The Poppy Appeal is the Legion’s UK‑wide campaign to raise funds for veterans and their families. This year’s appeal carries added poignancy as it coincides with the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day.
“Wear your poppy with pride”
Cllr Philpott said the appeal was a vital opportunity to honour those who had given their lives for freedom:
“So many local people have made the ultimate sacrifice over the years. This year is the 80th anniversary of VE Day and VJ Day and the generation which gave us everything and is gradually passing on, deserve our respect and remembrance. I would encourage everyone to give what they can to the appeal and wear their poppy with pride.”
Council Leader Cllr Rob Stewart added:
“Our veterans need our support and the Royal British Legion does brilliant work for them and for serving members of the armed forces. We should all give what we can in this year’s Poppy Appeal.”
Community remembrance events
A series of remembrance events will take place across Swansea in the coming weeks, including:
- 25 October – Cross of Peace ceremony at Dan Y Graig Cemetery
- 2 November – Garden of Peace opens outside Morgan’s Hotel
- 8 November – Festival of Remembrance at Brangwyn Hall
- 9 November – Remembrance Sunday: Cenotaph service, city centre parade and Service at Swansea Minster
- 11 November – Poppies to Paddington event at Swansea Railway Station
- 11 November – Armistice Day commemorations at the Cenotaph and National Two Minute Silence
- 11 November – Guildhall illuminated red for Armistice Day
“A symbol of sacrifice”
Phillip Flower, Chairman of the Royal British Legion in Swansea, said the poppy remained a powerful emblem:
“The poppy has been the emblem and a rallying‑point for Royal British Legion fundraising for well over a century. It is a reminder of the poppies of Flanders, where so many gave their lives during World War I.”
Poppies will be available at council venues across the city, including libraries, the Guildhall and the Civic Centre.

#ArmisticeDay holds a special place in my heart as it was a day my Grandad would proudly get dressed in his finest and join other #veterans in the local parade. He'd be out for weeks to collect for the #RoyalBritishLegion and sell #poppys and take time out of his day to check in with fellow members.
He was one of the #kindest, #smartest and #funny men I've ever had the pleasure to meet. He is my #hero and I hope that he's watching down on us from where ever he is and smiling.
