It was good to be joined by our local MP and councillors, as well as Guides, Brownies, Rainbows, representatives of the emergency services, the St John's Ambulance, and other local groups for today's Act of Remenbrance. @whitkirkchurch.org.uk @leeds.anglican.org
Today I joined the moving Remembrance Sunday service at Whitkirk Cenotaph.
I laid a wreath for all those from East Leeds who lost their lives in war. We remember them, the grief of their loved ones, and continue to seek a world of peace, free from the pain and horror of war.
