Medway has been praised for the way the community fought back after the closure of Chatham Dockyard 25 years ago.

It was, says Kent’s Lord Lieutenant Allan Willett, a “prime example” of people refusing to accept defeat.

Mr Willett was speaking at his annual civic service, which this year took place in Rochester Cathedral.
