Bronte Radio from Bronte Media
and Voice of the Valleys
Here we are!
It is entirely fitting that we launch Bronte Radio to cover an event which truly embodied the heart of the community which we will be seeking to inform and entertain of events and features across the Worth and Aire Valleys and beyond.
Just a year to the day after the tragic death of Private Martin Bell GM, a former Police Community Support Officer in the Worth Valley, a plaque was unveiled in his honour outside the Worth Valley Contact Point in Haworth.
Martin died to save the life of a colleague who, despite having lost his legs, stood bravely along with a company of paratroopers in Haworth as Martin's mother, Elaine, unveiled the plaque in front of hundreds of people including the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, Sir Norman Bettison. Afterwards Sir Norman spoke warmly of the community spirit and warmth which he had seen on the day.
So we begin Bronte Radio's coverage of the community by paying tribute to one who served it and lost his life in Afghanistan and then returned to the very heart of where it all began. Join us in saluting a great man of Worth and a hero come home. Private Martin Bell G.M.

Over 40 years ago The Railway Children theme music was recorded by evergreen singer Vince Hill. "More than Ever Now" is a lyric perhaps very appropriate to what was in the hearts of many at this event.
RIP Private Martin Bell G.M. |
