Pause for remembrance

Across the district this Remembrance weekend people will pause to remember those who died in conflicts.

On Saturday, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month throughout the country people will observe a two-minute silence for those in the Armed Forces who died in defence of their nation.

Remembrance Sunday will see wreath laying services taking place in towns and villages as communities pay their respects.
