I was honoured to take part in our service of remembrance and wreath laying at the St Helens Workers’ Memorial in Vera Page Park, to mark International Workers’ Memorial Day.

Thank you to John Riley and the local Memorial Trust, trade union representatives, Haydock Brass Band, the Parish Church & all those involved.

Vital we continue to fervently fight for workers’ rights, and remember all the men, women and children who lost their lives through accident or illness caused by their work.
