To mark Armistice Day and the period of Remembrance I was pleased to attend three particular events held in the county:
On Monday 8th November I attended the Royal British Legion Cross Laying Ceremony in the Garden of Remembrance at St Mary’s, Stafford.
On Thursday 11th November my wife and I attended the annual Armistice Day Service, held at the Armed Forces Memorial at the NMA. The poignant service was attended by HRH Duke & Duchess of Gloucester who laid a wreath in remembrance of all those who gave their lives in service to their country since 1914.
I was honoured to lay a wreath, as High Sheriff of Staffordshire.
On Sunday 14th November I attended the Remembrance Day Service & Parade in my own Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
