The pair will remain as active members of the Worksop branch and Brian will continue to be the standard bearer.

“The Worksop Branch of the Legion would like to thank Brian and Shirley Madden for their long services,” said new branch secretary Ray Fielding.

“Their service has been outstanding, making a huge contribution to the organisation.”

“Brian has very much been the public image of the Legion, being its standard bearer, and is a very well known part of our community.”

“As the branch moves forward it is important to recognise the huge contribution that has been made over the years.”

“Their example has ensured the Royal British legion remains the custodians of remembrance and that the future of the Royal British legion has a real future.”

“Thank you Brian and Shirley for a job well done.”
