The Tyneside Irish Brigade Association were represented at La Boiselle by our Vice chairman Pat Butler, our Secretary Kevin Farrell, Treasurer Kate Butler and Honorary President John Sheen.
They were accompanied by local MP's Chi Onwurah (Newcastle Central) and Ian Mearns (Gateshead), members of the Northumberland Fusiliers and the Tyneside Scottish.
Our party had the honour of laying wreath on behalf of the Association in honour of the fallen, at the Northumberland Fusiliers memorial.
Meanwhile, at St Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle our Chairman Bill Corcoran joined the Lord Mayor, civic dignitaries and members of the public at a ceremony of remembrance and commemoration.
