A wreath to honour the service of The LGBGT community who served and laid down their lives to defend our nations freedom for the first time outside the UK.
And lastly a wreath to honour the armed forces of Poland who laid down their lives for freedom.
There was a reading from our Joan Kane, wife of the Branch Chairman.
