It was an honour and a privilege this Remembrance Sunday to attend Scunthorpe Anchor's Remembrance Meet Swimming Gala.
Prior to the racing beginning, we participated in an act of remembrance for all those we have lost to war. Despite the large numbers of people there, we could have heard a pin drop.
It was a fantastic yet poignant event, and was wonderfully organised by all those involved. The work the volunteers at the club do is truly outstanding and I’m so proud that the club is based in Scunthorpe.
It’s important to see young people in our community recognising the sacrifices of those in wars both past and present and to have the UKs only Remembrance Swimming Gala is a great honour for our area.
