February 12th: A beautiful pomegranate wreath, Rutland’s tribute to Katherine of Aragon presented ⁦during the annual service in her memory held at Peterborough Cathedral.

So sad to hear of the death of Gerry Wells, Tank Commander, author and holder of the French Legion d’Honneur for his part in WW2. Rutland was proud to have him in our midst.
