Greater Manchester to fall silent to honour fallen war heroe
Posted: 11 Nov 2014, 09:33
Thousands will fall silent to honour fallen war heroes on Armistice Day today.
A service of remembrance involving serving soldiers from the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment will be held at Manchester Cathedral from 10.45am.
The two-minute Armistice Day silence - to mark the defining ceasefire of the First World War in 1918 - will be observed during the service at 11am.
Flags will also be flying at half-mast at town halls and at many public buildings across Greater Manchester as the annual silence is honoured.
This year marks 100 years since the start of the First World War in 1914.
