Weald parish councillor David Marchant, who went into the pub to hand out the poppy tray while delivering them round the village, told the Sevenoaks Chronicle: "I went into The Windmill and the lady was not at all keen to have them. A lot of the village are upset." Publican and mother-of-two Bernice Walsh gave a different version of events and told the newspaper: "Well, I said they could put the poppies on the bar, and then he took them away." A Kent Police spokeswoman said: "Officers attended today following a call from a member of the public at the premises reporting nuisance phone calls." Both Mr Marchant and Ms Walsh declined to comment. In a separate incident earlier this week, a Royal British Legion poster in Gillingham, Kent, urging the public to support this year's Poppy Appeal was defaced to attack former prime minister Tony Blair.
