Chris Thomas, the well known brass band writer and presenter, and his wife Frankie are currently on the last leg of their journey to deliver a decommissioned UK ambulance to the Ukrainian military.

As Chairperson of Leamington Music the duo have been supporting the work of Belveder CIC, a charitable organisation in linking up with a small convoy to drive the ambulance across to Poland where it will be picked up to be taken to the front line.

They have already covered four countries in two days on their drive, stopping off for a break in Dortmund and onto Wroclaw in Poland the final push of 460 kilometers to their meeting point.

Never to forget

Updating supporters on his Facebook page Chris said: "We finally hand over our ambulances, full of medical supplies, to our Ukrainian friends who will drive them directly to the front line.

It's not something that we can easily prepare ourselves for but we know it's going to be a day that we will never forget."
