It would be nice to see a strong turn out not only to remember the fallen from all sides of conflict, but also remember those who have come back broken, either physically or mentally and honour the sacrifices they have made.</div><div

Perhaps we could also raise a few quid for the Legion who do great work supporting our veterans. A community bus will be available for anyone who needs it.</div></div>
