Bridget Phillipson MP visits Houghton-le-Spring Cemetery as part of War Graves Week

This War Graves Week I’ve been to Houghton-le-Spring Cemetery to pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives during the First and Second World Wars, and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission who maintain their graves.

The theme for this year’s War Graves Week is Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times, encouraging communities to come together and discover the world war heritage on their doorstep, as well as commemorating the selfless sacrifices made by ordinary people.

You can read some of the war stories of those people here: https://www.cwgc.org/war-graves-week/.
