A street renaming ceremony took place in Bedworth recently to honour Sergeant Simon Valentine of 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers who was killed whilst serving in Afghanistan in 2009.
Last weekend was a busy one for the Regiment with a St George's Day Parade in Morpeth on 22nd April and Gallipoli Commemorations in Bury on 23rd April. Crowds gathered to see representatives from 5 Fusiliers, Cadets and Veterans march through the streets of both towns.
A special weekend of celebrations and commemorations will take place on the 22nd & 23rd April for St George's Day in Morpeth, Northumberland and Gallipoli in Bury.
