Every together

A spokesperson told 4BR: "This was a tragedy that has affected everyone in the town, so it is fitting that the whole community comes together on this occasion.

There is a poor weather contingency plan, so there is no reason to not turn out and enjoy yourselves, the women wanted, whilst supporting a cause that is so close to the heart of the community at present.2
