At last nights Police (Bury Division) Carol Concert at Bury Parish Church, Reverend Findon reminded us that Christmas was about the little people.

“God tells us to care for the little people”. Clearly not eliminating myself on height grounds and meaning significantly more than those challenged in that direction, I nevertheless found his message a very stirring one albeit caged in very subtle and simplistic tones.

At Christmas it is always worth reminding ourselves of those “little people”. Those less fortunate, the dispossessed, the disenfranchised in society, the homeless, the weak, the vulnerable and those in  suffering or hardship those little people mustn’t be forgotten. Meanwhile our “little ones” can enjoy ther christmas in safety and the love of their families.

I must congratulate Chief Inspector Rush and his team for last nights concert. In particular the wonderful playing of the GMP band and the fine singing of the Choir - all in aid of the GMP Benevolent fund.

All in all a wonderful night, reminding us(if needed) what Christmas is really about.
