Yesterday it was time to celebrate Armed Forces Day at Oxfordshire County Council, so along with many dignitaries, representatives and councillors, we went along to watch the 'Raising of the Flag' ceremony which was held at the Oxford Castle complex next door. We all came out of the first meeting of the Performance Scrutiny Committee which was taking place next door.
In the afternoon, I went along with some of my council group to visit the University of Oxford Department of Oncology at the Old Road Campus in Headington. This was an excellent opportunity to see the innovative and inspiring work which is going on in cancer research and treament. It is the centenary of the Medical Research Council this year, so a good time to celebrate the work which has been undertaken so far. We have gone a long way over the years and todays' pioneering research will hopefully go even further in the future. Of course, a lot of this would not happen without generous donations from Cancer Research UK.
