Dambusters Commemoration

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Operation Chastise, the Dambusters Raid, a ceremony was held in the city centre to honour Sergeant Wilfred Ibbotson, Flight Sergeant William Hatton and Pilot Officer Cyril Anderson, sons of Wakefield who took part in the Operation.

I will be hosting a Veterans’ Voice event to listen to local veterans what they would like to see in future governments.

The Shadow Veterans Minister, Rachel Hopkins will also be in attendance.
