Remember

Hornchurch and Rainham MP James Brokenshire joined the Deputy Mayor of Havering and other community leaders and members of the public on Sunday in remembering British service personnel who have lost their lives in the service of their country. The MP laid a wreath at the Hornchurch War Memorial as part of the Remembrance Sunday service of commemoration which was followed by a special service at St Andrew's Church. The event was rounded off by a march-past by the Hornchurch Branch of the Royal British Legion and the Romford Drum & Trumpet Corp through the streets of Hornchurch.

Commenting James Brokenshire said

"The current conflict in Afghanistan reminds us of the huge debt we owe to those who put themselves in harms way to protect our interests and our very way of life. We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those who have paid the ultimate price. Quite literally they gave their tomorrows for our today's. It was really heartening to see so many people attending and paying their own personal tributes to these brave young men and women."
