Kohima Tribute: When you go back, tell them of us and say , for their tomorrow, we gave our today. May they Rest in Peace. We will always remember them.

I was honoured to lead the procession through the town centre to the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. The Rev Mark McIntyre Rural Dean of Walsall conducted the service and the address was made by The Ven Julian Francis the Archdeacon of Walsall who touched on the life of Sir David Amess and all MPs work and the contribution by BAME service personnel. 

On Remembrance Sunday we remember the fallen and those who fight for equality and justice. This year there were still a few restrictions in place. There was no service at St Lawrence and Revd Peter Silvester explained that the March and the laying of wreaths would take place at 11.am. As I was attending the Service at the Town Centre Cenotaph, I laid my wreath in the morning. We will always remember them.
