Thousands turn out to Remember

Thousands of local Dronfield residents turned out to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War. Yesterday, Sunday 11th November, the annual Remembrance Day Parade took place in the morning, where a number of local groups laid wreaths around the War Memorial located in the Manor Library Gardens.

In the evening the Beacon in Sindelfingen Park was lit along with 1,200 other beacons across the country. Church and handbells also rang out to commemorate the ending of the First World War. Both events were extremely well supported by members of the public.
