Representatives of the Royal British Legion of the Costa del Sol met on Thursday 22nd at the Club La Naranja in Calahonda for their annual meeting. During the meeting, the 2025 accounts were approved and the objectives for 2026 were set out. In addition, the group held a ceremony in memory of soldiers who died or were wounded in conflicts since the First World War. The ceremony was attended by members from Mijas, Coín and Alhaurín de la Torre.

Neal Toplis, president of this group’s southern district, led two minutes of silence: one for the fallen and one for those still suffering from the aftermath. The councillor for Foreigners, Mario Bravo (PP), stressed the importance of caring for the mental and physical health of veterans. This year, the tribute was also extended to the victims of the train accidents in Córdoba and Barcelona, with the group joining in the three days of official mourning as a sign of support.

With 40 years of history in southern Spain and a thousand members, the organisation focuses its activity on the Poppy Appeal to raise funds. Toplis explained that this aid is vital for retired military personnel with low pensions or housing problems. The Royal British Legion thus maintains its commitment to those suffering the consequences of war, seeking to repair damage and offer support in situations of vulnerability.
- También se han aprobado las cuentas del año y se ha hablado de las líneas de trabajo del colectivo.
