South Ribble Cross in the Parliament Remembrance Garden

Today, I laid a remembrance cross in Parliament on behalf of the people of South Ribble.

It gave me a moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our country, particularly those who never made it home.

This is just a small wooden cross but it represents something much bigger. It's a tribute from our community to all those who gave their lives so that we could enjoy the freedoms we have today.

Remembrance has always held a special significance for me. I've seen first-hand the commitment, camaraderie and sacrifices that come with serving your country.

We will forever remember them.
