3 September 2009: Attended the Battle of Worcester Society's Drumhead Service on the anniversary of the battle of 1651 on Fort Royal. Councillor Andrew Roberts, the Mayor of Worcester, and I jointly unveiled a macquette of the monument the Society would like to see erected in Worcester City Centre.
