THE Liberal Democrat MP for the South Cotswolds joined the crowds to pay her respects to the fallen from conflicts dating back to World War I on Remembrance Sunday.
Having attended a Remembrance event in Cirencester in the morning of Sunday, November 10, Dr Roz Savage headed to Malmesbury to join a procession through the town alongside the deputy lieutenant of Wiltshire, the under sheriff of Wiltshire and the mayor.
She was also joined by town councillors, the Warden and Freemen of Malmesbury and officers and soldiers from 9 Regiment RLC.
“Remembrance Sunday is such an important day for all of us,” Dr Savage said.
“We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, for our peace and for the future we all share.
“We must never forget their courage, nor that of the veterans who still bear the mental and physical scars from their service.
“I was honoured to be invited to sign the official Remembrance Book in Malmesbury before joining the procession through the town to Malmesbury Abbey.
“It was a truly special afternoon and a reminder that we are all connected by a shared history.
“May we honour the memory of those we’ve lost by working together toward a peaceful, sustainable future.”
