For the first time in many years there was rain on Remembrance Sunday. This meant the procession from St Paul’s with the St Paul’s Choir and St Joseph’s Choir to the Sale War Memorial had to be done with umbrellas and outside coats instead of the usual robes. Revd Becky and Father Stephen led the service at the Town Hall steps and there was the usual large attendance.

The photos below were taken during the morning.
