Local MP Alan Mak shows his support for Hayling Island Armed Forces Day street party

Local MP Alan Mak showed his support for an Armed Forces Day street party held on Hayling Island.

He called in to see organiser Angela Hopkins, thank her for her hard work and donate a bottle of House of Commons wine for the raffle.

Angela, who has served as Hayling's local Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal co-ordinator for the past six years, was the driving force behind the weekend street party that took place in Bosmere Road.

Part of the road was closed, decorated tables were laid out and Angela invited residents to bring food and drink and join in the celebrations in support of our Armed Forces.

Angela, whose father served in the Royal Navy, said: "It went really well. The weather wasn't too hot and we were also joined by several residents from the nearby Wimborne Care Home."

A total of £800 was raised for the RBL, which helps veterans and their families.

Mr Mak said: "I was delighted to support Angela and her street party. She put in a lot of effort organising it and I'm sure the local community were very appreciative and enjoyed the opportunity to mark Armed Forces Day in this way."
