RHYL Royal British Legion is leading the way once again, with a new plan to engage children.

Pupils at Ysgol Tir Morfa, Ysgol Emmanuel Christ the Word Catholic School and Christchurch County Primary are in with a chance to win a family ticket to SC2 or Vue Rhyl by naming the branch's new mascot.

"Any child in school that hasn't taken part can email a name to met via kendrick7396@gmail.com.
