This night, now part of the Greater Shankill Winter Festival Calendar, could not happen without the support of Row On Row, Greater Shankill Community Council, Oldpark/Cavehill Royal British Legion, City Of Belfast Army Benevolent Fund, Shankill Spectrum Centre, Shankill Mirror and the Loyal People Of The Shankill Road who attend each & every year.
The Greater Shankill Area has a proud Military History, a history steeped in Honour. Past generations of our loved ones have marched down & off the Shankill Road to Wars & Conflicts around the world, proud in the knowledge they were doing so for King/Queen, Country, their loved ones & people back home. So it is for them each year that the entire Greater Shankill Community comes out to Recognise & Remember, to Recognise the Bravery it took to stand up to the enemies of our country & people and to Remember their deeds, actions and sacrifice with pride.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this event the success it is each year, including John MacVicar, Bobby Foster, Sam Coulter etc, & all of the above.
Thank you to Lieutenant Derek Smyth and D.U.P deputy leader Nigel Dodds who both said a few words about the importance of Remembering, before encouraging & congratulating all involved.
