Today, I was proud to join the Redbridge Mayor and our neighbouring MP Wes Streeting, at Redbridge Town Hall for the Armed Forces Day flag raising ceremony. It was a special moment to come together with local representatives from the Royal British Legion and the 241 Wanstead & Woodford Squadron Royal Air Force Cadets to honour the dedication and sacrifice of our Armed Forces. This week in Parliament, I also recognised local Air Cadets - 12F Walthamstow & Leyton Squadron.
