I just want it thanks everyone who’s sent a card since my dad passed or left a kind message on Facebook. Many have asked about funeral arrangements which will all be put on dads Facebook page ‘Graham vegas’ we’ve asked that no one brings flowers or cards and instead they give to the collection box on the day or via this link online.

Dad served in the royal signals for 5 years when he was younger and was proud to serve his country. I know he’ll be smiling down on us now knowing that we’re supporting SSAFA who supporting veterans.

Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity: SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing lifelong support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Every year, thanks to the donations, grants and legacies we received, we helped more than 85,000 people in need, from second World War veterans to young men and women who have served in more recent conflicts.

SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person, and we are here for that person - whenever and wherever they need our help.

Thank you so much for making a difference.
