It’s been fantastic to see so many young people taking part in this year’s Remembrance events. Last week I had the pleasure of joining students at Etone College for their Trust Remembrance Parade. I want to commend all of the young cadets and students who honoured our fallen soldiers.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM It was an honour to lay a wreath at the War Memorial in Bedworth to mark Armistice Day. A moving parade and service as always, thanks to the Bedworth Armistice Committee and their supporters. “When you go home, tell them of us and say For your tomorrow, we gave our today”❤️

Last week in Parliament it was my honour to place a tribute in the Speaker’s Constituency Garden of Remembrance in memory of all of those who served from Nuneaton and the villages. We will remember them. #ParliamentRemembers #LestWeForget #Remembrance

Today, I attended Nuneaton’s Remembrance Sunday service, laying a wreath in tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I'm grateful to representatives who laid wreaths for me in Arley, Ansley, and Hartshill. I also attended a remembrance service at George Eliot Hospital. We will remember them

Today, we honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Now and always, we will remember them.

I was delighted to meet with Nuneaton Town FC, the Football Foundation, and Councillor Nicky King earlier today. Jim, Stuart, Ian, and all the volunteers at Nuneaton Town deserve enormous credit for the fantastic work they have done over the past 18 months.
