Shamrocks are presented at the St Patrick's Day Parade at Clive Barracks, Tern Hill
He said: “The parade is a great day for us all but we are also celebrating the official opening of the Moonbeam Garden which has been opened as a tribute to a soldier who died in Afghanistan.
“Lance Corporal Paul Muirhead died in September 2006 and his best friend Russell Bennett raised £890 to help kick-start a fund for a memorial garden, so without him this would not have been possible. The garden has also been opened as a tribute to other soldiers who have died in action.”
The garden was officially opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire Algernon Heber-Percy.
