It was a great pleasure to support a brilliant fund-raising event in Chellaston. Local Conservative Councillors teamed up with a landlord and created a wonderful village fete style atmosphere to raise money for our military heroes.
Having only left the army a few years ago, plenty of my mates are fighting in Afghanistan. I know that events like this send them the message that we appreciate them, we care about them and that, if their service costs them their physical or mental well-being, we will look after them. I can’t think of a more important message to send.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures – getting me ‘cuffed seemed to amuse the police no end!!
