Alsager marked Remembrance Sunday yesterday (8 November) with its annual parade.

The Remembrance Parade met at Asda car park and walked down to the Cenotaph at the junction of Sandbach Road South and Ashmore's Lane.

They included Joëlle Warren MBE, Congleton MP, Sarah Russell, the Mayor of Cheshire East, Judy Snowball and Alsager Mayor. Councillor Pauline Hubbard.

A two-minute silence took place followed by wreath laying and then a service at St Mary Magdalene's Church in Crewe Road.

Remembrance Day – also known as Armistice Day – on Wednesday 11 November marks the anniversary of the end of the First World War in 1918.

Alongside Remembrance Sunday, which falls this year on 8 November, it is commemorated each year to remember the sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Britain and the Commonwealth in armed conflicts.
