Soldier's Freedom Parade through Birmingham
Jul 23 2009 by Trevor Roberts
THOUSANDS of people turned out to give soldiers who risked their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan a heroes' welcome as they marched through Birmingham. Waving flags, the crowds cheered as around 150 soldiers from the 26th Regiment The Royal Artillery paraded through Victoria Square, into New Street and back through Bennetts Hill.
