Devizes Carnival on Bank Holiday Monday

On Bank Holiday Monday, Claire took her youngest daughter with her to enjoy the fun at the Devizes International Street Festival. A key part of the Devizes Carnival which runs until 4th September, the Festival featured fairground rides, rousing brass bands, soulful blues music, performance art of all description (including the Gran tourismos- rogue Grannies in charge of motorised shopping trolleys!) all taking place in and around the Market Place in Devizes. Armed with a strong coffee from Col. Grumpy's Coffee Bus and with the sun shining, it was a memorable afternoon in Devizes.

Scotty's Little Soldiers

Claire Perry, MP for the Devizes Constituency attended the launch party for Scottys Little Soldiers in Tidworth on Saturday. The charity was started by Nicola Scott, wife of Corporal Lee "Scotty" Scott of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment who was killed in Afghanistan last year after she saw the impact of their father's tragic death on her own children.
The charity raises funds to provide treats, birthday presents and holidays for the children of fallen soldiers and on Saturday Nicola, her family and a tireless team of helpers organized a party outside the Community Centre in Tidworth, followed by a disco and live band. Claire Perry said, "I was so honoured to be invited to the launch of Scotty's Little Soldiers and to meet Nicola and her wonderful children, Kai and Brooke. I have written to Liam Fox, the Secretary of State for Defence to see if there is any thing our government can do give it support and in the meantime, I will wear my "Scotty's" wristband with pride and hope that the donations keep rolling in".
Donations can now be made at the charity's website, http://www.scottyslittlesoldiers.co.uk/
