I’m on Plymouth Hoe today for the city’s Remembrance Service, paying my respect & remembering those who courageously gave their lives. At the going down of the sun & in the morning, we will remember them.
#LestWeForget

Today we remember the fallen who courageously gave their lives so we can live ours. We offer our immense gratitude to current & former armed forces personnel, including the veterans I am proud to work alongside South Western Ambulance Service for their service and dedication.
