There were also some heartfelt stories told about Haverfordians and their medals.

Andrew Burns proudly wore his medals in honour of tours in Northern Ireland and Bosnia, and Robert Inglesant explained the extraordinary story behind his MBE.

Mr Inglesant was awarded an MBE for his charity work when he ran soldiers to Romanian who were helping orphan girls thrown out of orphanages in the country at 18, preventing them from going into prostitution.
