I WOULD like to express my thanks to all the staff and Barbara Cooke for the great day remember-ing the First World War at the Round-about Cafe, Westfield Corner, Mansbridge.

May I also thank Caroline Nokes MP for stopping by during her busy schedule on the day.

There were plenty of cakes and soft drinks on offer plus the Radian Singers and displays from the Portsmouth Pals WW1 Group, with their trench art and stories plus my own collection of memorabilia and medals and a fine display of dancing.

Councillor Bob Painton, Swaythling Ward.
