Widnes Remembers
 
10th November 2013
 

The Widnes Remembrance Sunday civic procession and service, attended by the Queen’s representative the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, at the War Memorial in Victoria Park, was well represented by Widnes Masons to pay tribute and show a mark of respect to all the fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate price and lost their lives in the many conflicts over the years so that we may live in peace.
