On the 2nd of November, Ellie attended a Remembrance Service in Parliament, where she joined fellow MPs to remember all those who laid their lives in sacrifice for a more peaceful world. She also placed a written tribute in the House of Commons Gardens of Remembrance, honouring those from North Herefordshire who gave their lives.
Back in North Herefordshire, on the 8 November, she joined local residents at the Remembrance Service in Bromyard, laying a wreath at the War Memorial and paying her respects as the procession made its way through the High Street.
Rather than using a single-use plastic wreath, Ellie lays a beautiful handmade knitted and crocheted wreath, specially created by a talented team of local craftswomen from North Herefordshire. By reusing the wreath each year, she is able to make a donation to a veterans’ charity instead of purchasing a new one. This year, her donation went to the Hereford Veterans Support Centre.
On the 11 November, Ellie will also take part in the Parliamentary wreath-laying ceremony in Westminster.
