Beautiful remembrance service for the fallen by the town's people of Rishton this Remembrance Sunday.
It's a nice place to walk around with benches and flowers for scenic view and good photos dog walkers and mums and kids playing use it alot I've recently started doing my walks there to build up my stamina and fitness
Respect for the fallen people on all sides of these Wars. For our way of life now is something we take for granted, it cost these people their actual life to allow us this freedom. Always respect no matter your views.
It's a peaceful place with lovely roses with many colours, lots of people said hi to me and I sat on the bench and it was very lovely.
Lest we forget.
Well preserved, neat and tidy.
