HOLSWORTHY came together to give its thanks to those in the town’s past who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms enjoyed by those who call it home today in a moving ceremony.

In a ceremony that was well supported by local residents, dignitaries including the town’s mayor, Cllr Jon Hutchings and representatives of the different faith groups in Holsworthy led the tributes.

Meanwhile, at nearby Anvil Corner, a place that features a tribute to the memory of the RAF servicemen who died after a Handley Page Halifax bomber crashed in an adjoining field just after 1am on on January 14, 1944, further tributes were paid in a moving ceremony.
