Conservative Mayor of Tamworth to Lead Service of Remembrance
The Mayor of Tamworth will be leading town’s service of Remembrance on Sunday as Tamworth remembers the fallen of all wars and conflicts since WW1 on Sunday.
Cllr Tina Clements will lay a wreath at Tamworth’s war memorial before joining both current and former servicemen and women, residents and local politicians at the service of remembrance in St Editha’s church.
Cllr Clements said, “As a former soldier, it will be a very sombre moment for me when I lay the wreath on Sunday. Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives to help make this county what it is today is important for all.”
Conservative Party Cllr Allan Lunn, who fought in the first Gulf war, will also lay a wreath at Sunday’s service.
Cllr Lunn said, “It is a great honour for me to be able to lay a wreath on behalf of everybody in Tamworth.”
The Mayor of Tamworth will lead the parade from the Town Hall in Market Street to Church Square for the laying of the wreaths, followed by the service of remembrance.
