Remembrance events across the borough

Parades, services and wreath-laying ceremonies will be taking place across the borough to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Events have been planned for Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Ramsbottom, Tottington, Unsworth, Walshaw, and Whitefield, while Armistice Day includes a short ceremony in Gallipoli Garden, outside the Fusilier Museum.

This year, there will be an additional event for local people to come together – Bury Remembers, an evening of music and spoken word.

It takes place on Tuesday 4 November at Bury Parish Church, from 7pm to 8.15pm (doors open at 6.30pm). There will be performances from Bury Fire Choir, Bury Music Service, Bury Army Cadet Force Corps of Drums, and input from Bury Youth Service.
