THE Worcester News has donated £2,225 to the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
The money comes from proceeds of the sale of a special publication produced by the paper to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The books were sold through the Worcester News offices and retailer network.
World War II - An Account Of Local Stories - contains the memories of ordinary people in Worcestershire who lived through an extraordinary time.
Worcester News editor Stewart Gilbert said: "This proved to be a wonderful publication to produce.
"As well as the factual element relating to the Second World War, it was fascinating to realise that there were so many Worcester News readers who still had such vivid memories of this period of history.
"We were pleased to be able to utilise the offices of the Worcestershire Royal British Legion to help us with the production of this book.
"The contribution from the cover price, will be put to good use via the RBL Poppy Appeal."
