Welcome Home

Returning members of the RAF who have served recently in Afghanistan visited Parliament last week to meet with MPs and Peers who thanked them for the work they have done putting their own lives at risk in order to protect us at home. Amongst those greeting the returning airmen was our local MP, Stephen Phillips, who paid tribute to the sacrifice and dedication shown by all our servicemen and women in the work they are doing. "In the past," Stephen said, "we have not done enough to recognise the hardships which those serving their country overseas undergo, along with their families in the defence of our nation. It has been a huge privilege to meet so many heroes recently returned from Afghanistan today and to extend the thanks of everyone in the constituency for their sacrifices on our behalf."
