WORCESTERSHIRE will be coming together this week for a number of parades and services, to remember our armed forces who have served and lost their lives in wars and other conflicts whilst serving their country.
Coun Richard Morris, chairman of the Worcestershire Armed Forces Partnership, said: “It is vitally important that the county can come together and take a moment to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for their country.
“During my tenure as chair, I hope that we continue to do all we can to reflect, raise awareness and support those in the Armed Forces community in Worcestershire and build on the fantastic work already being done. This programme of services is a great example of this.”
