May I take the opportunity of thanking each and every member of the public who gave to our annual London Flag Day collection on Saturday, June 28.

The association had collection tin holders in locations within Sutton and Croydon and raised £814.01p.

I am well aware that there are many other worthwhile charitable collections nowadays and this is why my committee and I are particularly grateful for local people's generosity.

We most certainly do not take their support for granted.
