Colleagues lay wreath as part of Poppies to Paddington initiative

To mark Remembrance Day (11 November), Great Western Railway organised its annual Poppies to Paddington operation, which transports wreaths from towns and cities across its network to be laid at the war memorial on Platform 1 at Paddington Station, London.

Our Veterans Steering Group Lead Jonathan Thomas, Veterans Champion and Strategic Health Facilitator Simon Shorrick (who served in the Lincolnshire 5th Royal Anglican Regiment) and Registered Nurse and Quality and Safety Lead Rebecca Walder (who served in the Royal Navy as a Queen Alexandra Royal Naval Nurse), laid a wreath on behalf of our Trust at Gloucester Railway Station this morning.
