Freedom of Stafford Borough for Royal British Legion charity

A Freedom Scroll was presented to several members of the group
A branch of the Royal British Legion has been awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Stafford.
The town's branch was formed in 1921, just a few months after the national charity came into being to support those affected by World War One.
A Freedom Scroll was presented on Tuesday to several members of the group.
Branch chaplain John Davies told councillors they accepted the award with pride and it was a "great honour".
"In granting the branch the freedom of this borough, you are recognising the work undertaken by former members, current members and indeed future members," he added.
