On Saturday, October 26, 2024, our Practice Manager Rosa had the privilege of joining the Garstang Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club on their annual visit to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

The Arboretum, a place of reflection and tribute, left a deep impression on Rosa and the group, highlighting the scale and beauty of this significant memorial. Located within beautifully maintained gardens, the Arboretum offers much more than expected. Its grand landscape includes numerous illustrated sculptures and memorials, each dedicated to the memory of those who served. As Rosa noted, it would take more than a day to fully explore and absorb everything the Arboretum has to offer.

Brethertons Gold Line Tours Limited provided everyone with a comfortable journey to Staffordshire, expertly driven by Ray. Thanks to the Breakfast Club and everyone involved, it was a meaningful day for reflecting on the service and sacrifices of our Armed Forces.

If you’ve never visited, Rosa highly recommends experiencing the National Memorial Arboretum firsthand. It’s truly a special place to remember, honour, and learn.
