Sunday has been a day of community for me. First the profound sense of connection that came from being part of the Remembrance Sunday service at the War Memorial on Hills Road, and then being part of the crowd to see Cambridge United Women’s Team play QPR at Grange Road.
They were very different experiences. Laying a wreath at the War Memorial on behalf of the City was a solemn and deeply moving experience. My fellow councillors and I were surrounded by members of the Armed Forces as we acknowledged the sacrifices made by them and their colleagues, and pledged to do all we could to bring about peace. It is so important that we never forget their courage and commitment.
At the football match, where Cambridge played brilliantly but sadly failed to see off the QPR attack, I reflected on how important these shared experiences are in bringing us together in society. It is something we must all work to preserve.
