Three services encompassing Armistice Day and Remembrance Day took place on the Costa Blanca last weekend, organised by local branches of the Royal British Legion. On Friday November 11th, Armistice Day was commemorated in the traditional annual service (pictured) put together by the Torrevieja RBL branch at San Luis church in the city. Though Torrevieja’s mayor Jose Manuel Dolón was not present, the council had all-party representation from the PSOE’s Fanny Serrano, who will take over as mayor in the spring, in addition to Carmen Morate of the Green Party, and Rosario Martinez from the Partido Popular.
Two commemorations took place on Remembrance Day on Sunday, with the Gran Alacant and La Marina RBL branch service in San Fulgencio’s Plaza de la Constitución, and the Orihuela Costa branch commemoration at Mil Palmeras church.
