Veterans, leaders and civil servants gathered yesterday at the Memorial Gardens outside the Council Offices for our Remembrance ceremony.
There were speeches from both the Leader and the Chair of the Council, and a two-minute silence was held at 11am.
We will remember them 🌹
It’s a huge privilege to meet veterans who have served our country, and the @PoppyLegion volunteers who do such vital work.
This weekend, we will come together across the UK to remember the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

As an ex Young Farmer ,a long time ago, I can recommend the YFC network around the county. Great experience for young people. And you don't need to be from a farming background, I wasn't...
An insightful afternoon learning how organisations in Moray are supporting the wellbeing of its young people 🏴
Both @OutfitMoray and @SAYFC highlight the importance of bringing rural communities together. Whether it's connecting young farmers or providing outdoor opportunities, it's great to see how building strong support networks is a priority across the region🔗

Can I also thank our @BlabyDC planning officers who have been there all-day answering questions from the inspector 👏
These meetings can be very technical, that's why before attending today, I was speaking from the #HNRFI site location to publish a video for residents explaining some key points on why and how we as a Council object to #HNRFI 🗣️
All of us from the @BlabyDCConsGrp will continue to do what we can in stopping this countryside destroying proposal 🌳
