Spalding Veterans Day
Sunday 3rd July 2016 saw an Armed Forces Celebration Day at the Anglia Motel, Fleet Hargate, 11-4 pm.
Tulip Radio working in conjunction with the Ministry of Defence to celebrate the lives and continued work with our local Veterans and Armed Force personnel and their families.
Tulip Radio contacted Veterans who had not yet received their Ministry of Defence Armed Forces Veterans Badge and to qualify for this the Veterans had to have served in the Armed Forces at some time in the last 70 years. Those who did were presented with a unique badge and received a special Certificate from Rt. Hon. John Hayes MP at the beginning of the event and Ross Dean conducted a service of remembrance honouring those who had fallen in battle. There was a buffet provided by Harold and cream cakes provided by Terry Moore from Bakkavor, all kindly served up by Terry and the Cadets of 1406 Sqn ATC.
The Cadets helped look after the Veterans and be a part of the event.
Tulip Radio: “It was amazing to have the young Cadets there and they were very helpful and couldn’t do enough to help wherever needed. A very big thank you goes out to them and to their leader who directed all day so everyone was looked after.”
