Heroes march through Blisworth and Milton Malsor

Servicemen from the Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines marched through Milton Malsor and Blisworth yesterday to raise money for the Royal British Legion.
The airmen are taking part in the four day March of Honour, which started at RAF Wittering, near Peterborough on Thursday.
The march will also see teams from the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Marines take to the streets in other parts of the country. Those involved will march about 30 miles every day with the aim of walking a mile for every British life lost in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001.
On Sunday, the Air Force team will reach Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire - famous for being the town where mourners can pay the first tributes to the country's war dead after they are repatriated to RAF Lyneham and driven through the town en route to the mortuary at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
The marchers will then continue onto London in time for Remembrance Day.
Yesterday they took part in a service at Kettering War Memorial before marching through Pytchley, Orlingbury, Little Harrowden, Sywell, Overstone, Milton Malsor, Blisworth and finally to Towcester.
You can support the march by texting MARCH to 70222, which makes an instant donation of £3.
