A NEW addition has been added to a town war memorial as it gets ready for the jubilee.

‘There but not there’, is the latest part of the Second World War Memorial Bed in the Halstead Public Gardens.

The plane silhouette was donated by Halstead in Bloom and has been installed just in time for the upcoming platinum jubilee celebrations being held in the public gardens, with the red, white, and blue painting also going in.
