A wreath in memory of those who fell during the Falklands War will be laid at the foot of Bradford Cenotaph tomorrow.

It will be the first time a wreath has been laid outside London to those who lost their lives in the 1982 conflict in the South Atlantic.

Former Para David Brown,

pictured, the Northern branch secretary of the South Atlantic Medal Association for veterans of the conflict with Argentina, will carry out the honour at the Remembrance Day service tomorrow.

The former paratrooper from Thornton, Bradford, will stand shoulder to shoulder with Bradford Lord Mayor, Councillor Stanley King, and scores of veterans from across the district at 11am.

He said: "This is the first time a wreath in memory of Falklands' veterans has been laid at a cenotaph outside London.

"Donations from the people of Bradford helped to pay for a Falklands War chapel of remembrance in Reading after SAMA 82's buy-a-brick campaign appeared in the Telegraph & Argus.

"We thought, therefore, it was appropriate that the wreath should be laid in the city, which will have a picture of the chapel's garden of remembrance in its centre."

Meanwhile the Lord Mayor was unveiling a monument in Centenary Square today in memory of the Bradford Pals, who fought in the Great War.

Councillor King presided over a ceremony for the stone memorial, a Remembrance Day tribute to the men from the famous West Yorkshire regiments.
