Sad news about Dickie Bird. I was lucky enough to meet him in June at the Mayor of Barnsley’s Civic Service. He was warm, kind and full of character.

A true legend of cricket and a proud son of Barnsley who never forgot his roots. Rest in peace, Dickie.

The Mayoress and I enjoyed a wonderful evening at Armthorpe Community Centre with Markham Main Colliery Band’s Last Night of the Proms. A fantastic atmosphere, full of music, flags and community spirit. Thank you to all who made it such a special night. 🎶🇬🇧

This morning I had the honour of leading Doncaster’s remembrance for the 80th Anniversary of VJ Day in Sir Nigel Gresley Square.
Pipers played the Lament as the VJ flag was raised, followed by a 2 minute silence at noon to mark the end of the Second World War in the Far East.
We will remember them.

It was an honour to play a part in the presentation of the British Empire Medal to Richard Haley at Doncaster Mansion House.
My thanks to Professor Dame Hilary Chapman DBE, Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, for presenting the award, & congratulations to Richard on this well deserved recognition.

Had a great afternoon with the Armthorpe 32nd Scouts as they celebrated 100 years of adventure, learning, and community spirit.
A huge well done to all the leaders past and present, and to every young person who’s been part of the group over the years.
Here’s to the next 100!

Thank you to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Primary School for the opportunity to speak about Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 & this year’s theme, “Ordinary People.” I also shared my experience of visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1990 a powerful reminder of why we must never forget. #HMD2025 #NeverForget

🌳 Holocaust Memorial Day - Tree Planting 🌳
Last week, we marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz/Birkenau with a deeply humbling tree-planting ceremony in Armthorpe. This event reminds us of the unimaginable horrors endured by millions and the resilience of the human spirit.
