Hundreds of people attended the opening
An Army veteran says he hopes his new Nottinghamshire coffee shop will act as a "safe haven" for his fellow ex-soldiers. Spectre Coffee, based on Low Street in Sutton-in-Ashfield, officially opened on March 18 with a large ceremony attended by hundreds.
"I was trying around that time to get help but I was told that I wouldn't get anywhere until at least February, even though all I wanted was just to speak to somebody. I later started my therapy journey but if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here now." "One of the aspects of the coffee shop we were really keen on is that it should be a really calm environment where those people who want to talk can do so. It's not a loud greasy spoon, we're offering something really different because nine times out of 10, people just want to offload their experiences and we know how challenging it can be for men especially to talk about these things.
Sisters Catherine Harding and Elaine Straw's father was part of the Normandy landings, whilst their cousin Marilyn Harper's father fought in the Navy and was on the Russian convoys. Christine said: "We're proud to be British and we're proud of the servicemen so this is lovely for Sutton to have something like this and it's just something a bit different.
