Last autumn members of Stamford Youth Council and the Climate and Environment Committee planted wildflower seeds at Stamford Cemetery. They are now fully in bloom and add a vibrant green space to the cemetery. Thanks to all our Youth Councillors who helped create the Wildflower Garden!

At midday today the Stamford Royal British Legion held a commemoration of 15 years since the end of Operation TELIC, the UK’s military involvement in the Iraq War, at the Stamford War Memorial.

The short service was held to honour the extraordinary service and sacrifice of the British Armed Forces during operations in Iraq.

Mayor of Stamford Councillor Jane Kingman addressed the gathered crowds before a two-minute silence was held. Wreaths were then laid at the War Memorial.

The event coincided with a national commemoration by the Royal British Legion at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire.
