LONG EATON REMEMBERS

 A large crowd turned out once again on a sunny but chilly remembrance Sunday morning. The parade departed from West Gate at 10.20am and made its way to the War Memorial for the wreath laying ceremony at 10.45am. Bishop Roger Jupp, Vicar of St Laurences, conducted the service. The Deputy Mayor of Erewash, Councillor Chris Corbett, who join Long Eaton residents at the service and Mass at St Laurence’s Parish Church before the parade, welcomed the assembled company. After the service the band and organisations formed up and marched round the Green, saluting the War Memorial on return before marching up the High Street where they were dismissed. The Borough Council wish to acknowledge the help and co-operation of the Long Eaton Branch of the Royal British Legion and of Bishop Roger Jupp in organising the service.
