The hugely popular Band, Bugles, Pipes and Drums of The Royal Irish Regiment will be providing the musical accompaniment, alongside The Pipes and Drums of Campbell College School.<\/p>\n Heather Spence, Interim Chair of the Royal British Legion in Northern Ireland said: “By attending events such as the Northern Ireland Festival of Remembrance, or wearing your poppy, you\u2019re helping ensure that the RBL can continue its vital work supporting the Armed Forces community. In the last year the RBL has provided support to over 22,000 service personnel and their families in the UK, from mental and physical recovery programmes, help with finances, housing or support with adapting to civilian life.<\/p>\n “We\u2019re grateful that people want to come together here in Northern Ireland to honour the memory of those who have served and show support for the Armed Forces community.\u201d<\/p>\n Over the past year, the Royal British Legion says that is has supported over 22,000 veterans across the UK.<\/p>\n This includes Omagh<\/a> Veteran Robert Stewart and his wife Clare who appealed for support following the death of their daughter Clara Rose who was born stillborn. The charity helped the couple with support and legal fees which helped them secure an inquest and understand what happened to Clara Rose.<\/p>\n The couple said: \u201c The legal bills became too much for us, and we worried that we would be unable to give our daughter the justice she deserved. Without the RBL\u2019s help, we have no doubt this would not have been possible<\/a>, and we are forever thankful. We are so proud as Clara\u2019s parents, we did the best we could to save future children\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n To purchase tickets for the event, please click here.<\/a><\/p>\n For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage<\/strong> here<\/a> and sign up to our daily newsletter<\/a> here<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Royal British Legion (RBL) has said it is proud to announce the annual Northern Ireland Festival of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5011],"tags":[17542,83309,1144,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-471161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-northern-ireland","8":"tag-armed-forces","9":"tag-belfast-city-centre","10":"tag-northern-ireland","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115310443405373574","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
