Sir Gavin Williamson joined residents in Great Wyrley and Stone to celebrate St George’s Day.
Sir Gavin took part in both parades, celebrating England’s patron saint with entertainment, food, and stalls. Both communities put a great deal of effort into the festivities, some even dressing up in historic costumes.
Sir Gavin joined the Stone Community First Responders at their stand. They are a group of volunteers who give up their time to support the West Midlands Ambulance Service by responding to emergency calls and providing immediate care to patients before the arrival of an ambulance. Sir Gavin had his blood pressure checked during the parade, encouraging others to keep on top of their general health.
He also visited the Great Wyrley Local History Society stand, where they were selling books on local history.
Sir Gavin said: “It was great to see the communities in Great Wyrley and Stone put on such prideful displays to celebrate our nation’s patron saint. Volunteers from numerous local organisations went to a great effort to make the day memorable and it was wonderful to see everyone get involved.”
