Alderley Edge marked Remembrance Day this afternoon with a parade and church service to remember those who fought and sacrificed their lives while serving for their country.
Organised by the Alderley Edge British Legion, the parade included representatives from the Royal British Legion, Alderley Edge Parish Council, Cheshire Police, British Red Cross, WRVS, local churches, and the Bugler.
They were joined in the parade by local scouts, cubs, beavers, guides and brownies.
Residents lined the streets to pay their respects and observe the parade which departed from the Festival Hall and marched along Moss Lane, Trafford Road and Chapel Road before proceeding down London Road to the War Memorial on Ryleys Lane.
Following prayers and the wreath laying ceremony the Service of Remembrance was held at St Philips & St James Church.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
But not as strange as returning home to watch the highlights of the service at the London Cenotaph where the band played "Oh What A Lovely War!"
Handforth's display of large poppies on lamp posts and signage has been spectacular, and puts the surrounding areas to shame.
