Borough Council’s War Veteran Praises Town’s Remembrance Service
Cllr Allan Lunn
Cllr Allan Lunn, Tamworth Borough Councillor and ex soldier who fought in the second Gulf war of 2003, heaped praise on everybody who took part in Tamworth’s Remembrance Service on Sunday.
Cllr Lunn said, “As a Gulf war veteran and Borough Councillor for Castle ward in Tamworth, I found myself feeling so proud of the people of Tamworth on Sunday, 11th November. The turn out and respect shown was fantastic.
“There were people of all ages present and yet the silence was not broken by anyone, at any time. St Editha’s Church was completely full and a fantastic tribute to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have our Freedom.
“I also hope that many of you witnessed the display of respect shown at 7pm, when the sky over the whole of Tamworth was lit up with Lanterns, this was a truly amazing sight and one that has not been seen before. Well done Tamworth!”
