Everyone is invited to the Royal British Legion Remembrance Parade and service to be held on Sunday (10th November).

The Parade will form on the Alsager Civic car park at 2.10 pm . The RBL Stewards will line up the parade in the usual order.

A spokesperson from Alsager's Royal British Legion branch said: "The Parade will move off at 2.30 pm. There will be a wreath laying ceremony and Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial in Sandbach Road South, starting at approximately 2.40 pm.

"As in previous years, the youth groups will be drawn up immediately in front of the memorial, leaving spaces for those laying wreaths to pass through.

"After the ceremony, the parade will reform and march to St Mary's Church, Crewe Road, for the Remembrance Service, starting at 3 pm.

"Members of the Branch will also hold the traditional Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial in Sandbach Road South at 11am on Monday 11th November (Armistice Day). There will be no formal parade on that occasion."
