THREE Poppy Appeal cash boxes were stolen from locations in Ledbury during the year.

The Royal British Legion's local appeal organiser, Lloyd Meredith, said: "On hearing of this the Feathers Hotel management made a donation of £50 and a former WAAF member made a donation of £30.

"To both I send my sincere thanks, also to the poppy collectors and other helpers who gave their time to help with this year's collection.

"It will take about three weeks to finalise how much was collected in the Ledbury area."
