Rachel has marked Remembrance Sunday by taking part in Coleshill’s Remembrance Day Service. Speaking after the service she said:
“It was a real privilege to join the people of Coleshill yesterday for their Remembrance Parade and Service. We must remember all those who have served our country, those who continue to serve, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our freedom and way of life.
“The Coleshill Town Band were fantastic, and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Rev Sarah Tillett and Mayor Michael Ford-Terry for making me feel so welcome.
“It was particularly moving to hear the roll call of those from Coleshill who lost their lives in war and conflict. The young people who laid wreaths on behalf of Coleshill CofE Primary, Woodlands School and Coleshill School were a real credit to their schools and community.
“I would also like to thank the 18 volunteers who laid wreaths on my behalf at town and village war memorials across North Warwickshire and Bedworth yesterday.”
We will remember them.
