PC Harper was killed in the line of duty in August 2019. After a ceremony in Reading Town Hall the memorial to him was unveiled on Thursday 23 April, it sits alongside the Potts VC / Berkshire Yeomanry Memorials. A QR code at the side of the memorial tells more.

I was privileged to play a part in raising the money to deliver a memorial to local Reading (Katesgrove) man, Trooper Fred Potts VC. Today was the 10th anniversary of its opening as well as being a special day of remembrance for our service men and women. 1/3

The decision by @I_W_M to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery was truly heartbreaking, but the stories of bravery told there must live on.
I am delighted to announce the launch of a new virtual tour so you can see the Gallery for yourself

@LordAshcroft @VC_and_GC_Assoc @I_W_M Good luck with the campaign. Just a ridiculous decision by the IWM with little notice. Museums of course change but the ability to house in one place all these VCs along with their stories explained so well is so important for all generations.

[Lord Ashcroft @LordAshcroft]

For every retweet of this post, I will donate £1 to the @VC_and_GC_Assoc up to £50,000.
Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery.
Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.
