In a heartfelt tribute to his late grandfather, Liam Sawyer is stepping up to raise funds for The Royal British Legion, the charity that helped care for beloved Kenilworth resident and Navy veteran Ken Sawyer in his final years.

Ken Sawyer of Watling Road, Kenilworth who passed away in September 2021 at the age of 93, was a cherished figure in the community and a proud ex-serviceman.

His grandson Liam, who helped care for Ken alongside support from The Royal British Legion, is now determined to give back to the organisation that stood by their family.

Throughout their married life, Ken and wife Dot raised thousands for Warwickshire Air Ambulance and the Royal British Legion.

To honour Ken's memory, Liam is hosting a charity dance event titled "Dance for Ken" on Friday 7 November at The Massey Ferguson Social Club, Broad Lane, Coventry CV5 7NL. Doors open at 7.30pm.



"The evening promises a lively mix of Sequence, Ballroom, Latin, and even a splash of Disco, with live music performed by the energetic Big Little Ashby Band," Liam said.

Tickets are priced at £10 per person, with a special couples ticket available for £15. All proceeds will go directly to The Royal British Legion to support veterans and their families.

Ken is survived by his wife Dot, who celebrated her 99th birthday last February - a milestone that adds even more meaning to this tribute.

"This event is not just a fundraiser - it's a celebration of life, service, and a tribute," Liam added.
