Parliamentary Candidate for Halifax
Halifax Parliamentary Candidate Philip Allott and Calderdale Council Leader Cllr Stephen Baines visited the British Armed Forces and Veterans' Day on Saturday the 27th June to meet with veterans and members of the public at the Piece Hall.
The event, which was the first of its kind, was blessed with excellent weather and was warmly supported by members of the public.
The event started at around noon with a procession from Halifax Town Hall of veterans, active servicemen and women and cadets, accompanied by Halifax Boys’ Brigade Marching Band.
Events at the Piece Hall included a performance from the West Yorkshire Fire Service Pipe Band, a display showing different conflicts, a tea dance, military vehicles and some World War I artefacts supplied by Bankfield Museum.
During the event Philip spoke to a number of veterans and also inspected a Halifax restored Second World War military jeep.
Philip, who in his youth was a member of the Royal Corp of Transport and served with 217 Squadron based in Leeds, said afterwards: “For too long the massive contribution made by our armed forces has not been properly recognised and I am therefore delighted with the recognition given to veterans. I hope next year that there will be even more stalls.”
