A big crowd gathered in Sandbach's Market Square to take part in the traditional Remembrance parade service today (Sunday).

Congleton MP, Fiona Bruce, was one of the dignitaries to lay wreaths at the War Memorial service followed by a service at nearby St Mary's Church.

Roberts Bakery led the parade which began at Westfields in Sandbach before marching to the War Memorial in Market Square.

Lions Brass Band was in the Market Square and played during the service which include a two minutes silence at 11 am.

Rev Bee Boyde, vicar at St Mary's led the service at the War Memorial and the church service, reminding people of the 120 names on the memorial who had lost their lives during WWI ad the Second World War.

The Remembrance Day service at St Mary's featured prayers and hymns plus readings and the laying of the wreath below the Standards in the church.
