I was on Saturday Surgery duty on the Town Hall steps this morning with fellow councillor Mike Rodger. Mike has been Mayor twice, and started on the council with me nine and a half years ago. Sadly Mike is moving to Carlisle at the end of the month, and he will leave a big hole at the council and in the town where he is a well known and popular figure. It was good to do a Saturday Surgery with him before he leaves.
At 10.50am the British Legion held a short service of remembrance at the war memorial. A large number of people stopped to take part, and stood in silence for the two minutes following the last chime of the church tower clock at eleven. I was proud to lay a wreath by the war memorial on behalf of the town.
Tomorrow we will be back there again, but with hundreds of local people following the parade.
