As I mentioned to you when we met this week, my mum's dad was killed in Normandy in 1944, aged 22, four months before before my mum was actually born.
Whilst she was growing up Oswaldtwistle War Memorial was the nearest thing she had to a grave, and it's very special place to her, and also to us her children, and her grandchildren.
She's very happy that the War Memorial will now have the name Pte. James Owen engraved on it for time immemorial.
Just a note to anyone who might not respect the War Memorial by sitting on it, and supping beer. Do be aware that you might be approached (polite version) by a mad, wild eyed Banshee. It's happened before. You've been warned.
