The band completed two engagements yesterday.
We first met at the Stretford Cenotaph for the annual service of remembrance, with attendees including the Mayor of Trafford and the MP for Stretford and Urmston. A substantial number of the public braved the cold and wet to mark the centenary of the original Armistice Day.
We then headed back to Flixton for a very welcome hotpot at the John Alker Hall before giving a free concert to mark the occasion. The ex-servicemen’s club was decked in flags and the Hall was full. The programme included an arrangement of ‘For the Fallen’, during which our president, Councillor Jonathan Coupe, provided a reading.
