"We started this parade last year and it is good to see that this is much better this year. The idea was to offer a Remembrance commemoration during school time".

The event was supported by 57 (Potters Bar) Squadron, Air Training Corps and the Revd Stefan Chrysostomou from St Mary's Church in The Walk.
