Wigan falls silent on Remembrance Sunday
Hundreds gathered to recognise the sacrifices made by servicemen and women in the two world wars and more recent conflicts.
In Wigan a procession involving veterans, serving armed service personnel and other uniformed organisations, marched through the town before taking part in a ceremony at the parish church war memorial which included the last post and a two-minute silence at 11am.
The Mayor of Wigan borough, Coun Steve Dawber, laid a wreath at the cenotaph on behalf of all residents.
Several other ceremonies took place locally including Leigh and Ince.
