A DAD-OF-THREE will be joining around thousands of fellow veterans and servicemen this Sunday in Manchester at a peace march across the city to protest against the hatred that is causing terrorism.

Antony Harrison, from Haydock, alongside nine other men from the borough, will be marching through the streets of Manchester saying, “enough is enough” with the violence.

The 45-year-old veteran from the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment, said: “After all the trouble we’ve had in both the Manchester Terror Attack and in London, a couple of people in the regiment decided enough is enough.

“We are walking a peace march, this is not an act of hatred to any group or race, instead it’s saying this hatred of others has to stop.

“This cannot be allowed to continue in our country, we want to put it to the government we should not have to live in fear, something has to happen to fight against what is happening.”

The protest, which will start at 10am on Sunday, June 25, at Victoria Station and finish at Victoria Gardens where speeches will be given.

The former Haydock High pupil added: “We all agree that something has to be done to protect our families but not more violence, we are all family men and women, we just want to raise awareness.

“I have three daughters, at some point I have taken each of them to the MEN arena, those kids that died could easily have been them, it makes you wake up.

“We are a non-religious and non-racist group of around five to seven thousand serving and ex serving armed forces backed by the emergency services who will also be attending.

“We will all be in full military uniform and we just want support of the people who believe as we do to stand with us.”
