MEMBERS of the Bromyard branch of The Royal British Legion joined thousands on a pilgrimage of remembrance to a First World War battlefield.

The RBL event, known as Great Pilgrimage 90 (GP90), took place this week in France and Belgium.

GP90 will mark 90 years since the RBL pilgrimage in 1928, which saw 11,000 veterans and war widows visit the battlefields of the Somme in France and Ypres in Belgium, before marching to the Menin Gate in Ypres.

Legion members John Cutler and Ben Tawse represented the Bromyard branch at the event as standard bearer and wreath layer respectively.

They toured some of the same battlefields and cemeteries visited by those on the 1928 pilgrimage, before marching to the Menin Gate.
