This weekend will see a range of events in Bedford marking the centenary of the end of the First World War and remembering those members of the Armed Forces who have lost their lives. The weekend of events will culminate in the lighting of a 'Beacon of Light', as part of the 'Battle's Over' National Tribute on 11th November.
Commenting on the sad news last night of the death of former Liberal Democrat leader and former Bedford School boy Paddy Ashdown, Mayor Dave Hodgson said:
Mayor Dave Hodgson has wished everyone celebrating a very happy and peaceful Easter.
Mayor Dave Hodgson has encouraged people to use their vote in today's European elections.
Today is Clean Air Day, and Mayor Dave Hodgson has emphasised the importance of this 'critical issue', which the council is tackling in a range of ways.
It was so good to see so many people enjoying the Christmas Fair, Christmas Lights switch-on and fireworks this weekend. Thank you to everyone who helped organise the events.
