CROWDS are expected to line the streets on Remembrance Sunday to pay tribute to Knutsford’s fallen heroes.
Knutsford Town Council and the Knutsford branch of the Royal British Legion invite the community to join services of remembrance.
A slight change has been made to this year’s programme.

A short Remembrance service will be held at St John’s Church at 8.45am before the parade on Sunday, November 10.
The parade will then assemble at King Street car park at 9.55am and process to the Centennial War Memorial at 10.10am.
A rolling road closure will be in place as the parade passes through.
This lasts no more than 15 minutes.
Civic dignitaries and various organisations will lay wreaths after a service at 10.40am.
Armistice Day will be observed with a two-minute silence at 11am.
A service will be held at the Crosstown War Memorial at the junction of Mobberley Road and Thornleyholme Drive at 11.45am.
This will be followed by a similar service and wreath laying at Tatton Park Parachute Memorial at 12.30pm.
After the main services of remembrance, mayor Cllr Colin Banks will lay a wreath in the Centennial Place memorial garden at 1.15pm.
Town clerk Adam Keppel-Green said: “The whole community is welcome to join any or all parts of the day.
“The principle wreath laying will take place at Centennial War Memorial.”
Any organisations wishing to lay a wreath are asked to contact Gemma Jackson, civic events officer in advance by emailing gemma.jackson@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk
