The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A service has been held in Spalding’s Ayscoughfee Gardens to commemorate D-Day in World War Two.
Veterans and organisations’ representatives gathered at the war memorial for the Royal Naval Association D-Day Service on Tuesday (June 6).
South Holland District Council vice-chairman Coun Harry Drury said: “I was privileged and honoured to spend a couple of hours with this admiral group of heroes.
“The service was great but the most enjoyable part of the day for me was talking to the veterans in attendance from the various British Forces, about their experiences whilst serving their country and their commitment to one another and to their friends and colleagues they lost whilst fighting for our country and freedom.
“Sometimes, taking a little time out of the busy and stressful life we live to listen and appreciate what our soldiers do for us really helps put life into perspective.”
