Two Army veterans will take their place among thousands marching in front of the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
Simon Brown, 44, from Morley, will be marching at the Cenotaph as part of the national Remembrance Sunday commemorations with more than 40 other blind veterans supported by Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for vision-impaired ex-Service men and women, while Rob Hood, from South Cave, is one of 50 veterans, carers, and staff from Help for Heroes who will commemorate the service and sacrifice of all those who have served in the military.
The Act of Remembrance is to be led by Mayor Al Garthwaite, before a multi-faith service from the Bishop of Kirkstall, the Right Rev Arun Arora. Coun Garthwaite said: “At a time when the world is blighted by so much conflict, it is more important than ever to come together as one community, to honour and remember those who laid down their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today.
