SUN SHINES ON LOCAL HEROES

April 9, 2009 1:16 PM

paradeThe sun shone for the 24 Commando Engineer Regiment medals parade in Braunton on 8 April. This ceremony held was in recognition of a 6 month tour in Afghanistan.

Nick Harvey MP for North Devon says, 'I was delighted to be asked to address the regiment, the VIPs, families and other well wishers from across North Devon just before the medal ceremony.

'It is vitally important that our armed forces are made aware that their efforts are recognised and that they know they are appreciated.

'We were very lucky with the weather which added to the sense of occasion and the sense of pride was almost palpable. Every one enjoyed a great day and my thanks go to the organisers.'

The medals were presented by Major General Colin Boag CBE, Major General John Rose CB and Brigadier Barry Le Grys MBE.

    If you are a resident of the North Devon constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.

    • If you agree, Nick Harvey MP, the Liberal Democrats, and their elected representatives may use the information you provide to contact you about issues you may find of interest. Some of the contacts may be automated. You can opt out of these contacts at any time by contacting us.
