Lesley Bowers, treasurer of the Barkingside branch of the RBL and a Newbury Park resident, told the Recorder: "This year's Remembrance service at the Ilford War Memorial Gardens attracted an impressively large number of people whose hearts were visibly melted by the sight of two delightful young girls scattering poppies during the two-minute silence.
