HUNDREDS of young Muslims like this lad are collecting money for the Poppy Appeal.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association will be helping the Royal British Legion collect at 40 London Tube and rail stations, hoping to beat the £20,000 they raised last year.
AMYA president Fahim Anwer, speaking in London yesterday, said: “As Muslims living in this country it is our duty to honour those who risk life and limb for the protection of all British citizens.”
Fundraising for The Royal British Legion: Each year the nation expresses its unequivocal support for The Royal British Legion's charity work through the Poppy Appeal, emphasising the need to help all generations of the Armed Forces and their families - today and for the rest of their lives.
As custodians of Remembrance, The Royal British Legion through the Poppy Appeal, provides ways for commemorating those who are no longer with us.
