A branch of the Royal British Legion has been awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Stafford.

The town's branch was formed in 1921, just a few months after the national charity came into being to support those affected by World War One.

A Freedom Scroll was presented on Tuesday to several members of the group.

Branch chaplain John Davies told councillors they accepted the award with pride and it was a "great honour".

"In granting the branch the freedom of this borough, you are recognising the work undertaken by former members, current members and indeed future members," he added.
