With a Poppy Walk at Milford Haven, young people have again created a fitting tribute in honour of Remembrance Day.
On Monday, November 11 veterans working for the youth service were supported by young people to mount wreaths laid at the cenotaph along the railings along Hamilton Terrace between the Royal British Legion and the cenotaph.
This has now become an annual event. In previous years young people from Milford Haven School and members of Milford Haven Youth Club have completed this work. This year it was young people and staff from Futureworks who helped youth workers.
Feedback from the public has been extremely positive and this year was no exception with members of the public stopping and speaking to the young people to ask what they were doing and to share their thanks for adding to the community in a respectful way.
Milford Town Council has supported the Poppy Walk since its inception and again were grateful to the youth service and the young people for leading on this work.
Jimmy Wilson, youth worker and former member of the King’s Own Royal Border Regiment said: “The fact that these learners have come in on their day off to volunteer their time to create the poppy walk shows that they value the service of the armed forces and understand the significance of remembrance day and the sacrifices made by both serving and ex forces members.”
