Hounslow Mayor, Councillor Sachin Gupta said: "Hounslow has built a reputation for being a community which honours and takes great pride in servicemen and women. We were the first London borough to sign a covenant with our armed forces to help servicemen and women during and after their careers.

"The borough has been host to many regiments who have been based here, from the Gurkhas to the Welsh Guards.

“Hounslow recognises the ultimate sacrifice our fallen have paid for our freedom. It’s why we wear our poppies with pride.”
