The group’s youngest member George Shelley, 19, said: “My brother is currently serving in the Royal Marines, so The Royal British Legion is a cause especially close to my heart.
“They’re there for the entire armed forces community, both serving and ex-service.

“We had a great day shooting the video and a really fun Poppy Picnic with some of the families stationed at RAF Northolt where part of the video was shot.
“It was incredible hearing some of their stories. The work they do is amazing!”

Dressed up like a bunch of Royal Marines the four piece fast roped from a chopper to gate crash a picnic.
The tongue-in-cheek video is already proving a massive hit on YouTube and the band have added to their Forces supporter credentials by confirming that they will be performing at a special concert for troops later in the year.
