"I'd like to pay tribute to our collective branches of The British Legion and all other community groups who play such a vital role in remembering the Armed Forces, their families, and the emergency services and, of course, those who have lost their lives through conflict or terrorism."
Councillor Ajmer Grewal, Cabinet Member for Safety and Regulatory Services, together with the leader of the Council, Cllr Shantanu Rajawat, formally launched the opening of Hounslow's Armed Forces veterans' breakfast cafe at Isleworth Fire Station on 28 October.
Cllr Grewal said: "Since we signed the Armed Forces Covenant refresh earlier this year, I have been privileged to get to know so much more about this group of proud, brave individuals.
"It is our priority to ensure that our veterans have all the support and information that they need. Indeed, we hope that the cafe will establish and support a network in which other veterans can share their experiences and access support and services in a timely manner. This is our first Veterans café, and it won't be our last in Hounslow."
