Last weekend, we had the opportunity to give thanks for our people's sacrifices during war, and to acknowledge those people who continue to serve in our armed forces today and in the future. Today, I'd like to celebrate the life of one of Shotton's bravest residents, Harry Weale VC. Harry was just 16 when he came forward to fight for and protect his country. I, for one, could not imagine how Harry felt, leaving home for the unknown to fight for the very first time in a foreign country. His courage alone was displayed from the very fact that he joined our armed forces, and he joined the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and it is no surprise that he returned home to a hero's welcome.

Deputy Llywydd, we should all remember that, without people like Harry, generations to come would not have had the choices, opportunities and freedoms that we have today. It is for those privileges that I am grateful and I'm sure we all are grateful here today too. So, we must never forget. One final thing I would like to say is:

'At the going down of the sun and in the morning / We will remember them.'
