AN MP who served as a young Lieutenant in the Territorial Army during the Cold War was reunited with his old Sergeant Major.

Mark Francois, MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, met with his friend Adrian Bryant at the palace of Westminster for a special trip to parliament for his Sergeant Major Bryant’s granddaughter, Lily’s birthday.

Mr Francois said: “I hope that I was able to make it a very special day out for Lily’s birthday.”
