I WOULD like to thank all who participated in the Remembrance parade, the service and the people of Andover who came along in big numbers to such an important nationwide event.

The parade was again exceptional, the service likewise. But I would like to thank the young woman who played The Last Stand to perfection – it was the best Last Stand I’ve ever heard.

It was absolutely brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for a better performance for such an important moment during the two minutes’ silence.

I’ve recently found out through Test Valley Brass Facebook page that her name is Louise Porter. You should be proud of yourself !

Mr A R Peachey, Andover
