A ROYAL British Legion stalwart is planning to raise funds by carrying the organisation’s standard around York’s City Walls, starting at Bootham Bar.

Marie Taylor, of St Wulstan’s Close, off Fossway, is to take part next week in a sponsored carry in support of the York branch’s Women’s Section, to mark the legion’s 90th anniversary.

The legion is asking people to support her by sending donations to Marie at 3, St Wulstan’s Close, Fossway, York Y03 8SJ.

All cheques should be made payable to RBL (WS).
