It was an honour to be part of the Remembrance Day commemorations in Romsey on Sunday. As Mayor of the town, it is one of the largest civic events in Romsey’s calendar, and what a wonderful occasion it was. Words cannot describe the feeling of seeing so many service personnel and remembering the selflessness of those who ensured we live in freedom today.
For me it was especially poignant seeing our young Romsonians, the future of our beautiful town, taking part in the day, and to see the children who watched from the parade route and the memorial park, speaking with parents and loved ones about the meaning of the day. These moments keep the memory alive and remind us how important it is care for one another.
I would like to personally thank the team at Romsey Town Council, along with the many volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the day went smoothly and safely.
To those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we will remember them.
Cllr Russell Theron
Mayor of Romsey
