Fiona Bruce MP attends Middlewich World War Two weekend
Fiona Bruce MP said “The Middlewich World War Two weekend this year, was nothing less than terrific with so many people in and around the town joining in dressed in ‘40s’ outfits – such as the staff in Davies Tropical Pet Store who bought outfits especially for the day. The enthusiasm with which people from a wide range of organisations supported the event added greatly to the atmosphere such as the Fire Cadets with their old fashioned fire engine which led the Sunday morning Civic Parade, the Air Training Corps, Help the Heroes, soldiers from the Mercian Regiment and the Royal British Legion.
The concerts by Fiona Harrison got everyone joining in the wartime community spirit with songs such as Run Rabbit Run and the Dad’s Army theme tune.
What particularly thrilled me was that the event was enjoyed not only by so many Middlewich residents, of all ages, but also, as I asked folk where they had come from, it was clear that the event attracted many visitors from all over Cheshire and even further afield.
The Sunday morning Middlewich Civic Service was particularly well attended with civic support from every other town in my Constituency – Congleton, Sandbach, and Alsager – and several other Cheshire towns.
Middlewich Town Council is to be congratulated on a splendid success.”
