Heywood veterans thank schoolchildren for Memorial Gardens decorations

Date published: 19 November 2018


Heywood veterans have thanked local schoolchildren for their poignant centenary decorations at the Memorial Gardens.

Veterans and supporters paid a visit to Harwood Park School to say a big thank you to the pupils for decorating the railing in front of the gardens with a link of homemade poppies.

To show the pupils’ respect for the two world war anniversaries, each poppy featured a verse.

In return, the head mistress presented a cheque to the veterans for their valuable contribution to the town.
