Stalybridge pays its respects on Remembrance Day

HUNDREDS of people turned out at Stalybridge as the town marked Remembrance Sunday.

MP Jonathan Reynolds was joined by veterans, councillors and scores of people of all ages at the November 13 service at its war memorial.

A march through Stalybridge’s centre, led by Stalybridge Old brass band, snaked around Armentieres Square, Grosvenor Street, Melbourne Street and Market Street.

Everyone then gathered on Trinity Street, where a solemn service was followed by the nationally-observed two-minute silence.

Representatives of the military, the police, schools, churches, Muslim community and youth groups laid wreaths at the memorial, with Mr Reynolds also paying tribute.
