Among those was the annual Parade and Service of Remembrance organised by Northwich Town Council.

A large parade assembled at Crum Hill and set off at 9.30am towards at St Helen’s Church for a 10am service.

This was followed by the Act of Remembrance at Witton Cenotaph, which also attracted a large crowd.

Speaking about the Remembrance events, Northwich mayor Kevin Rimmer said: “It is always heartening to see the good people of Northwich turn out in such large numbers year after year.

“This is in honour of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in both World Wars and other world conflicts.

“It is particularly heartening to see so many young people turn out and lay wreaths at the cenotaph.

“This is something that we cannot allow to be forgotten, and it was good to see an incredible turnout for a great remembrance parade and service.”

Also attending the service was Labour parliamentary candidate Mike Amesbury, who again paid tribute to the large number of people who attended.

“Remembrance Sunday is a time to reflect and think about the men and women who’ve fought, suffered and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the everyday freedoms we enjoy,” he said.

“The service was very well attended, which shows the depth of feeling the people of Northwich have for our brave armed forces.”

Elsewhere in the area, Anderton Boat Lift commemorated Remembrance Sunday with a service and cascade of poppies.

The service, held at 10.30am, was followed by the release of thousands of poppies from the top of the lift while the Last Post was performed.

A two-minute silence began by a signal from The Duke of Normandy tugboat.
