The great and the good from the Ormskirk area were among young and old who gathered outside Ormskirk St Anne’s RC Church on Sunday morning for the traditional start to Remembrance Sunday.
The crowd fell silent for a poignant last post before the assembled throng marched to the town’s main ceremony in Coronation Park accompanied by the Lancashire Greenall’s prize band of Ashton in Makerfield near Wigan.
The morning continued with the customary service at the parish church.
