Remembrance Sunday services will be taking place at venues across the borough, held in conjunction with branches of the Royal British Legion.

Residents, uniformed services and representatives of all organisations are encouraged to attend the services and there will also be opportunities to place wreaths on the memorials.

Councillor Sean Fielding, Leader of Oldham Council, said: “Our residents have the deepest respect for those men and women who have given their lives for peace, security and freedom.

“Services across the borough are always well attended and we hope this year as many people as possible will take the time to reflect and go to a service.

“Please support the Royal British Legion’s annual campaign and wear a poppy with pride.”

The council’s webpage – www.oldham.gov.uk/remembrance – features an online ‘Roll of Honour’ containing the names of all borough residents who lost their lives serving their country from the First World War onwards.

In the coming weeks our presence on social media Twitter and Facebook – will also be proudly bearing a Remembrance theme.
