Leigh and Atherton MP – Jo Platt – attended a VE Day 80th football-themed event at Laburnum Rovers FC in Atherton.

The event was put on to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. It was an action-packed football and military-themed day, celebrating our military heroes and raising funds for Veterans into Logistics.

Jo Platt said: “I visited Laburnum Rovers Football Club in Atherton for their VE Day 80th football and military celebration. It was a fantastic community event – and it was great to chat to some of our wonderful veterans.”

There was plenty going on during the fun day, including a veterans football tournament, live entertainment, a free climbing wall and military demonstrations.
