Remembrance Sunday in the Lancaster District
This year's Remembrance Sunday falls on 10 November and a number of services have been arranged in the Lancaster district.
Everyone is welcome to attend and remember all who died for their country in the two World Wars and also those who served in more recent operations.
The Mayor of Lancaster, Councillor Abi Mills, said: "It’s tremendously important that we continue to remember the sacrifices made by so many during times of conflict.
“Remembrance Sunday allows us to come together as a nation, to honour those who have given so much, and to pay tribute to our armed forces, both past and present."
