Remembrance
Over the following weeks the people of Bury paid their respects to those who sacrificed so much in conflict.
It was a special year of Remembrance with the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day. As a town with a proud military history, we've also commemorated other significant occasions this year, such as Minden Day, Gallipoli Day and Armed Forces Day.
For the first time we held a Festival of Remembrance and parades, services and wreath-laying ceremonies will also be taking place across the borough to mark Remembrance Sunday.
Parades and service also took place across the borough at the war memorial in Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Ramsbottom, Tottington, Unsworth, Walshaw, and Whitefield.
