Time: 1800 – 2100

Location: London
On Thursday May 21st at 6pm-9pm before the Whitsun recess, the Royal British Legion is planning to hold a reception in Westminster for members of parliamentary staff in London.
The aim of this event will be to inform Members’ staff about the work of RBL, the 2026 Armed Forces Bill, and how we can help with casework support for the Armed Forces community in constituencies across the country.
Buffet and drinks will be provided, and there will also be a bar.
Please do let us know at PublicAffairs@britishlegion.org.uk if you can attend, and if you would like to bring any other staff with you.
If you would like to order a wreath for Armistice Day or Remembrance Sunday, you can do so by contacting the Royal British Legion directly: https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/ways-to-give/shop/wreaths
They are able to provide a portcullis badge for the centre of the wreath, but you will need to request this at the time you order the wreath, and only ‘Type C’ and ‘Type G’ wreaths can accommodate a central badge.
You have to order by telephone if you want the House of Commons badge because it’s not on the website: ring 0345 845 1945, and make sure you tell them that you want the green House of Commons badge – emphasis on ‘green’, as they do come in other colours and you want to make sure you have the right one.
You can order wreaths at any time of year but, obviously, they are busiest in October and November, so do try to order in good time. They suggest that orders for Armistice Day should be placed before 24 October.
Wednesday 25 June is Reserve Forces Day. Have a look here to see what’s happening in Parliament:
