Meet the poppy seller who's clocked up 50 years

A poppy seller from Market Harborough who said he would help out with the appeal has marked a half century of collecting for the Royal British Legion.

Roger Brown first supported collections in Market Harborough as a child with his grandfather Frank Wilkinson, who had served in World War One.

He then began selling annually to help his father John Brown, a World War Two veteran, and in 2024 he hits 50 years of service to the branch.

Roger told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester's Ady Dayman why he's still 'doing his bit' 50 years on.
