A beautiful setting in front of the Almonry in Evesham this VJ Day for the Burma Star Association remembrance service dedicated to the men and women who served in the #Burma campaign 1941-1945.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with West Mercia Police as part of #giveadaytopolicing, where I joined PCs Sarah Kent and Richard Rees on their patrol around Droitwich to see first-hand how they are helping keeping residents safe.

Yesterday I paid a visit to Lloyds Bank in Droitwich Spa to discuss fraud protection, small business services and a wide range of banking matters, and to learn more about how they are helping to protect vulnerable customers from falling victim to fraud and scams.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go out and watch the famous Battle of Evesham reenactment.

On Friday whilst in the constituency I also had the opportunity to visit members of the AAmplitude team, a local provider of Electronic Outcomes and Clinical Referral Systems. 

On Friday afternoon I had the please of visiting Gloverspiece Minifarm School near Droitwich Spa, where I joined pupils and parents for the end of year celebrations. It was a wonderful occasion enjoyed by all.
