Lancaster district honours fallen heroes on Remembrance Sunday

Parades took place in Lancaster, Morecambe, Carnforth and Ingleton.

Wreaths were laid at war memorials after a two minutes silence.

A spokesman for Lancaster City Council said: “Thank you to everyone who paid their respects at remembrance services across the Lancaster district.”

A spokesman for Carnforth Town Council said: “A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Remembrance Day Parade and Service today.

“It was wonderful to see so many residents, organisations, veterans, cadets, and community groups come together to honour those who gave their lives in service to our country. Your presence helped make the occasion a fitting and respectful tribute to the fallen.”

Both Ingleton and Settle Scout Groups, and the District Explorer Units, were well represented when Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, leaders and supporters took part in Remembrance Day Services in their respective villages.

During the services, Colours were paraded and wreaths laid on behalf of the Scouts by youth members.

Several members of the public commented on how good it is to see Scouts involved on these occasions, and the youngsters were thanked for their dignified behaviour, a great compliment to all the young people and their leaders who took part.
