David Ruffley MP will be attending the funeral of Sir Graham Macmillan at Whiting Street United Reform Church, Bury St Edmunds this Wednesday at 12 noon.

Mr Ruffley said, 'Sir Graham Macmillan was a hugely distinguished constituent of mine who had a big role in local charitable bodies here in Bury St Edmunds. He was also the agent for Scotland to Margaret Thatcher- from whom he gained a knighthood and he was the Bury St Edmunds constituent agent for Sir Eldon Griffiths MP.

It is very important for the sitting Member of Parliament to honour this great national and local political figure.'
