John Healey meets 'new forces generation' on Remembrance Sunday
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Rotherham MP met newly enrolled sea cadet Kyle as part of the annual service in the borough
John Healey MP remembered the past personnel who served their country and met the new generation of the armed forces as part of the borough's Remembrance Day celebrations.
The Remembrance Sunday Parade and Civic Service was held in Clifton Park and included a parade of veterans, serving personnel, cadets and civic dignitaries, the national two minute silence, and a wreath laying service as well as The Last Post and the National Anthem being played.
From Maltby to Mexborough, Rotherham also held numerous other events to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian service people.
John Healey MP said: “Alongside remembering those past generations who have given so much in service for their country in the armed forces, it was a pleasure to meet the new generation stepping forward for the future - young people like Kyle Saxton, who joined Rotherham Sea Cadets a month ago.”
