I WOULD like to thank all the people who came to the unveiling service on Saturday for the plaque in memory of the people of Marston from the Armed Forces and Home Service who lost their lives in the Second World War.
A very special thanks goes to The Rev Elaine Bardwell of St Michael and All Angels Church, Marston Road, who performed the service and blessed the ground where the plaque is situated.
Also a very special thanks to Mrs Bridges from Cromwell Close, Marston, who unveiled the memorial plaque.
A big thank-you must go out to Andy Higgins, who arranged for the Army and Navy personnel to attend the service and also to have the Last Post played.
Finally, a big thank-you to the members of our local community who turned up for the service and the Marston British Legion who put on refreshments for the people who attended.
MICK HAINES (Cllr), Croft Rd, New Marston, Oxford
