Celebrating Harlow's Heritage

On another note, as Cllr Andrew Johnson writes in his blog, the Essex Yeomanry will be parading through Harlow on Saturday, 25 April. This is wonderful news and fits in with the determination of Council Chairman, Cllr Tony Hall, to ensure that Harlow's special place in the history of modern Britain is not forgotten.

History is important, not just because its nice to remember tradition, but because it provides an anchor - a link - between one generation and the next. So I am glad that Harlow's Charters are now on the wall in the Council Chamber, alongside that of the Queen. It was also good, as Andrew mentions, to have a Civic Church Service at St Paul's, to celebrate Harlow in all its glory. Everyone in Harlow has much to be proud of.

    Well done for giving Essex Yeomanry freedom of entry to Harlow, Andrew, Harlow councillors and Rob Halfon. Well done too for celebrating St George's week in our English town.

    The Essex Yeomanry are one of the proudest, ancient regiments of Essex and well deserve our county and town pride. These will be poignant celebrations as the regiment is preparing to go to Afghanistan.

    To combine this celebration of the Essex Yeomanry and the celebration of St George is a lovely idea.

    Sorry about this off topic post here - you don't have a comments section under your Dan Hannan post, so I can only respond to that elsewhere.

    The following is one of the recent responses to this video of Dan Hannan'[s on YouTube:

    "Gordon Brown's Ego"

    It's on uri: /archives/2009/04/gordon_brown s_e.html

    "I still have many friends in the FCO,and staff in the UK Mission to the European Union (UKREP Brussels) were horrified to receive an instruction from the FCO to ensure that the situation when Gordon Brown was obliged to hear a speech against him in the European Parliament from MEP Daniel Hannan, could not happen again..."
