Armistice Day - A Warrington mum remembers her son, 9 years after he was killed in Afghanistan

Paul Salt

Available for over a year

The nation will fall silent this morning, to remember those who've lost their lives in conflicts around the world. Among them will be Lisa Billing, from Warrington. Her son, Private Daniel Wade, was just 20 when he was killed with five colleagues in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2012. Lisa will be at the Cenotaph this morning - but just over the road from there, she's been working on turning Marshall Gardens into a memorial for the armed forces. The memorial garden, in his name, is due to open in Warrington in March next year. She's been speaking to our reporter Phil Cooper about her hopes for the area, and what today's service will mean for her.
