Members of the Little Common Women's Section of The Royal British Legion joined thousands of Armed Forces veterans and supporters from across the UK and worldwide in a pilgrimage of remembrance to some of the most poignant sites of the Great War.

A spectacular two-mile march through Ypres to the Commonwealth War Grave Commission’s Menin Gate Memorial, led by 1,100 Standard Bearers, was the culmination of the three day event which saw the 2,200 participants visit the WW1 trenches, battlefields and cemeteries of France and Belgium.

Mrs Alison Turner and Mrs Janet Dixon attended the Great Pilgrimage 90 as representatives of Little Common as a Standard Bearer and wreath layer respectively.
