Sandbach residents came together to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

A large crowd gathered at the War Memorial yesterday (Sunday, 8 November) for the annual Remembrance Sunday service.

They included the parents and brother of the Sandbach British soldier, Jordan Gatley, who died fighting alongside the Ukrainian forces against Russian invaders in 2022.

His mum, dad and brother laid a wreath alongside others at yesterday's poignant event which followed the parade through the town starting from Sandbach School in Crewe Road.

The procession included cadets, military veterans, local dignitaries and Scout groups.

Upon arrival at the war memorial, those in attendance observed the national two-minute silence at 11am.
