Central Devon MP Sir Mel Stride has planted a cross in the House of Commons Garden of Remembrance on behalf of Warrant Officer Watson from Okehampton.

The cross is in memory of two of Warrant Officer Watson's good friends: Paul Barker, killed in action in the Falklands in 1982, and Sergeant Vince Phillips, who lost his life during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

Each year MPs plant crosses in the garden on behalf of constituents, honouring those who served and did not come home.

Sir Mel said: "It was a privilege to plant this cross on behalf of Warrant Officer Watson. Behind every name is a family, a regiment and friends who still carry their memory. We will remember them."
