YOUNG PROUDLY WEAR POPPIES AS THEY VISIT CEMETERIES TO SALUTE HEROES
-
POIGNANT tributes to Erewash’s war dead in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday are seeing junior school pupils visit local cemeteries to take part in solemn salutes to the heroes they owe their freedom to.
Ceremonies involving the youngsters have been held this week ahead of the borough traditionally turning out in force over the Remembrance weekend to pay its respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The first of the salutes was at Ilkeston’s Park Cemetery, where children from the town’s Chaucer and Granby junior schools sported poppies on Tuesday.
Erewash council's former mayor Cllr Frank Phillips and his wife Cllr Pam Phillips were there - and later attended a morning service at All Saints’ Church in Kirk Hallam.
It was attended by pupils from nearby Ladywood and Dallimore primary schools.
