The Mayor of Lancaster, Councillor Abi Mills, said: "It’s tremendously important that we continue to remember the sacrifices made by so many during times of conflict.

“Remembrance Sunday allows us to come together as a nation, to honour those who have given so much, and to pay tribute to our armed forces, both past and present."
