A huge thank you to @RAF_Cosford @HMSForward @Army4Mercian 210 Battery @WMFSBand and all #RemembranceSunday parade participants. We couldn't do it without you.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Personnel from RAF Cosford took part in Remembrance ceremonies across the West Midlands and Shropshire on 12 November.
