On a very wet and rain soaked Saturday in September - Littlemoss residents, your 3 local Labour Councillors, as well as members of the Royal British Legion in Droylsden, came together to unveil a new purpose built marble memorial stone to commemorate those from Littlemoss who gave their life in the defence of this country.
Tameside’s Mayor Cllr Susan Quinn said “It is fitting that it was a Droylsden Councillor who unveiled the memorial stone. I am immensely proud to be asked to lead the first service here on Sunday November 13th at 3pm. “
As Cllr Jim Middleton (pictured) said “It must be about 8 years ago when I was first approached to help restore the memorial garden.” “I visited the garden and was impressed by the vision and determination of local residents, especially Sandra Street, to get things done.”
Speaking at the event Cllr Kieran Quinn said “We were on board from the start; we knew it would take time to get all the money together however we agree that the unveiling of the memorial stone is a fitting conclusion.
The pictures from the remembrance service will be ready soon and we will share them with you.
