Dear Friends,
Each year HM Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire Helen Nellis holds a Service of Thanksgiving to honour the thousands of people who volunteer and who play such a significant role in building kind and cohesive communities.
The service this year had to be cancelled due to the COVID19 pandemic therefore the Lord-Lieutenant has created on online service to pay tribute to our volunteers and to the 75th Anniversary of VE Day as the county of Bedfordshire remembers with gratitude the formidable generation who sacrificed so much for peace.
The service can be viewed on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Urdq3JM2E0U and the Lord-Lieutenant very much hopes that you will take 30 minutes at some point today to watch the service so we can all be together in spirit, while viewing from your own homes.
Please feel free to forward this link to all your contacts so that everyone can join the Lord- Lieutenant in giving thanks and remembering.
The Lord-Lieutenant would like to record sincere thanks to Deputy Lieutenant Phil Fothergill for all his hard work in putting the service together and to all who appear in the service. We hope that you enjoy it.
Kind regards,
Lisa Hutchinson – on behalf of HM Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire Helen Nellis
