I had an amazing day on Saturday. I was lucky enough to walk the streets of Derby at the front of the wonderful Saint Patrick’s Day parade. I also lined the streets, along with hundreds of others, to welcome the men of the 9/12 Lancers back home from their tour of Afghanistan. 
I love the diversity of Derby and am so proud of the men and women who serve out country. Like those out on Saturday, I see no conflict with being proud of your roots and being willing to serve your country.
