Deaf signing at London Euston Station

Network Rail staff member Daniel McAllister will be participating in the London Euston Remembrance Service using deaf signing language for the first time as part of the event

Thank you for being part of the Armistice Day service at Euston Station Memorial. What will your part be in the service?

As a native British Sign Language user, I will be signing a part of the service which means the Network Rail Deaf community have representation at such an important event. How important do you think it is to be able to provide deaf signing at events like this?

I believe that it is very important, it ensures that the deaf community have real time access to information and feel part of organised events. What are your thoughts on the importance of Remembrance Day services?

I feel that Remembrance Day services are important. If it wasn't for our armed service men and women, we may not have the freedoms that we do now. My father was in the Royal Navy for 25 years and these services give me time to reflect on his journey.

You can join in with the Euston service from 10:50 am on 11 November, with other Railway Mission led events being held across Engand, Scotland and Wales.
