A fascinating round-up of what was making Wigan news in November 2005 including remembrance, charity events galore and Santa arriving

A new Wigan Warriors kit was revealed, the town saluted its war dead, much money was raised for good causes (especially Children in Need) and it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas if these news pictures taken precisely 20 years ago are anything to go by.

See how many faces you recognise from November 2005.
