Remembrance Sunday falls this weekend (November 13) and military veterans, dignitaries and marching bands will once again be taking to the streets of the borough for parades followed by war memorial ceremonies, church services and the Last Post. We have looked through our photographic archives and found a selection of Remembrance Sunday events covered in the Wigan borough over the decades.
