In Parliament this week, I planted a Remembrance Cross in New Palace Yard Constituency Garden of Remembrance on behalf of those in Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner who made the ultimate sacrificed to defend our freedoms.

Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, invited Members of Parliament to take part in the inaugural Constituency Garden of Remembrance, located in New Palace Yard on the Parliamentary Estate.

The Garden will remain in place until 14th November and when complete will contain a Remembrance stake representing each of the 650 constituencies of the United Kingdom.

In addition to observing the two-minute silence this Armistice Day, I was also honoured to attend the Remembrance Day service in Pinner, alongside local councillors and Lord Finkelstein. The event was wonderfully organised by The Pinner Association and I would like to pay particular thanks to Sharon Pink for her incredible hard work, Nitin Mehta & Cllr Norman Stevenson who were also part of the organising committee, and for the support and sponsorship of local businesses in Pinner. 

It was important to remember those who served and sacrificed. We will never forget them, or those who continue to serve our country.
