On Saturday May 7th it was my honour to be invited by Nottingham City Council to a ceremony at Nottingham Castle to lay a wreath in memoriam of Albert Ball V.C. and all of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire V.C.s.

The Lord Mayor of Nottingham Councillor Brian Grocock lead the day and also presented the wreath with myself in memory of these brave individuals.

Albert Ball Memorial Day Nottingham Castle

Well, the time had eventually rolled around, the day that ‘The Radford Lad’ got suited and booted and took a long awaited trip to see Her Majesty, The Queen.

Receiving my MBE was a dream come true to say the least, something that the majority of people never have the fortune to experience, needless to say I soaked up EVERYTHING like a sponge!

It was nothing short of breathtaking, the cars, the food, the people the location and obviously the lady that gave me my MBE – Her Majesty The Queen.

The whole experience has been one that I never in a million years would have believed happening to myself, but here we are the pictures say it all, a day that I will truly never forget.
