At the event, a former Middle Eastern hostage, who was held for 4½ years by Islamic extremists, used yesterday’s ceremony to tell Islanders that everyone has the capacity to be an ordinary hero.
Brian Keenan addressed a crowd of around 100 at the Occupation Tapestry Gallery in remembrance of the 22 Islanders who died during the Occupation.
Full report – including a special feature on the 22 from Jersey who died – in today’s JEP.
