Wednesday saw the dedicating of Rosemary’s bench on Platform 2 at Orton Mere Station.
I am personally most upset that my health prevented me from attending.
Here are a few pictures of the event, and my thanks to Paddy Knight for taking them.
Rosemary’s step daughter and nephew sitting on the bench.
Without doubt Rosemary is sadly missed by the Orton Mere volunteers that worked with her.
