The Alderley Edge Remembrance Day Parade and Service will take place on Sunday, 12th November.

The parade will assemble outside the Festival Hall at 2.15pm and, led by the band, they will set off at 2.30pm.

The Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire will be joined by members from the Royal British Legion, Alderley Edge Parish Council, Churches Together, Cheshire Muslim Association, Cheshire Police, British Red Cross, and RVS. Local scouts, cubs, guides and brownies will also be taking part.

The parade will travel along Talbot Road, 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 parade will march back up London Road for the Service of Remembrance at Alderley Edge Methodist Church which will commence at 3pm. During the service the bugler will sound the 'Last Post' and the 'Reveille'.

A two minutes silence, in honour of those who sacrificed their lives fighting for their country, will be held during the service.

Mrs Pauline Pitt, from the Alderley Edge branch of The Royal British Legion, said "The Alderley Edge Union Club have kindly offered to open their doors on completion of the parade and service to all members of the community for refreshments."

A one minute's silence will also be observed on Saturday 11th November at 11am. This will take place outside Barclays Bank and those wishing to observe the silence are asked to arrive at 10.45am.
