I attended the morning march and service in Burghfield, laying a poppy wreath in memory of all those in our armed services who have given their lives in the service of the Crown.
I was grateful to Major Mark Shaw-Brookman for organising such a large and impressive group of people to march to the Church and attend the service, and to Major John Steeds for his hospitality and support.
The wreath laying around the War Memorial was a moving experience, and the Church service was dignified and well conducted. I would like to thank all involved for their fitting tributes to the dead of the wars and for their sympathy to all those who lost loved ones in conflict.
