8th November 2015 |
| Wigan honoured those who served their Country with a parade through the town culminating in a wreath laying service at the Cenotaph. |

The procession assembles at the Town Hall in Library Street, Wigan |
| The procession left the Town Hall in Library Street at 10.30am prompt and followed its usual route along Library Street, Rodney Street, King Street, Wallgate, King Street West and Crawford Street to the war memorial in All Saints' Gardens. |
| The ‘Last Post’ signalled two minutes silence at 11.00am which ended with 'Reveille' and the well-known verse from the ‘Poem for the Fallen’ by Robert Laurence Binyon, ‘They shall grow not old…’. The Mayor then laid a wreath on the memorial followed by representatives of the Services and other organisations. The procession then retired into the Parish Church for a service of remembrance. |
