Copeland unites in respect

The Ceremonies throughout Copeland today as a mark of respect for the victims of last week's shooting tragedies were very strongly supported.

I attended the very moving ceremony at St Nicholas's gardens in Whitehaven: there were about 4,000 people there. I understand that the other six ceremonies held at the same time from Frizington to Millom were also very well supported by the local communities.

One of the best things about West Cumbria is an incredibly strong community spirit. This area will get through it's grief at last week's murders, as it has come through previous terrible events, though people supporting one another. That was very evident today.

I was there too and was humbled to the point of tears when the taxi drivers blew their horns en masse. we will never forget but now is the time to move on.
