Bromley Borough Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament held its annual White Poppy Ceremony on Remembrance Sunday , as part of the South East London CND Peace Coalition . This ceremony commemorates all victims of war not just those who fought in wars.

The White Poppy was devised in 1933 by the Co-operative Womens’ Guild to remember all those who had died as a result of the First World War. Since 1934 responsibility has been taken by the Peace Pledge Union.

Richard Hart, Chair of Bromley Borough Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament said ‘ We feel that in these dangerous times the voice for peace needs to be made. I just wear a white poppy although some attendees wear a red one as well . We also commemorated Jim Radford a local peace campaigner who died on Friday. He had been a cabin boy on D Day when he was just 14 and until recently had been a leading light for Veterans for Peace and a performer on the local Folk Music Scene. His message lives on !’
