About us
2018 marks 100 years since the end of the First World War. To mark the centenary, The Royal British Legion has launched a movement to encourage the public to say ‘Thank You’ to the First World War generation who served, sacrificed and changed our world.
To kick off the movement, the Legion has created a spectacular ‘Thank You’ installation (8ft high by 52ft long), which will be in place at Plymouth Hoe on August 13th (for one day only) as part of a UK-wide tour.
The installation was unveiled on London’s South Bank by the Tate Modern on Friday August 3rd, exactly 100 days from November 11th.
On the front of each letter, the diversity of the war effort has been brought to life by artist Sarah Arnett, while the back has been reserved for the public so people can leave their own messages of thanks.

The Royal British Legion’s work is encapsulated in its motto: Live On – to the memory of the fallen and the future of the living. The Legion is the nation's biggest Armed Forces charity providing care and support to all members of the British Armed Forces past and present and their families. It is the national champion of Remembrance and safeguards the Military Covenant between the nation and its Armed Forces. It is well known for the annual Poppy Appeal, and its emblem the red poppy.
