He heard about the occasion from former classmate Mr Roger Lewis, now an insurance bond broker in London, but who lived in Waddington until three years ago.

Afterwards, the procession was formed to walk to
higher path behind the memorial and wreath bearers lined the paths in the gardens. Wreaths were laid, including one in memory of the men who died in the Boer War, and soon the area before the memorial was a mass of red as each organisation placed its wreath.
The standard bearers were' positioned on the Several complaints were received at the Mayor’s

sincerely regretted any inconvenience caused to members of the public who arrived at the war memorial after wreaths had been laid. The timing of the arrival of the procession had been affected by switching the service to a different church.
In a statement this week, the Mayor said he Mr Walter Brayshaw, Legion secretary, said it
was p'eople’s own fault for missing the wreath-laying. “They should have been in church and joined in the
procession at the start and not turned up towards the end just for the wreathdaying. That way they would not have missed out. There is no excuse,” he added. The Remembrance day service at St Paul’s Church,
Low Moor, in the afternoon, was well attended, with many former Royal Engineers from outside the Rib ble Valley joining in.
James Needham, Superintendent of the Clitheroe Methodist Circuit, assisted by Fr. Joseph Higham and licensed reader Mr Ken Guy.
The ecumenical service was conducted by the Rev. Those attending included the Mayor of Clitheroc
and local councillors. The various standards were again paraded and Maj. Bob Lockett, chairman of the local Royal Engineers Association, and Mrs Gill Walmsley read the lessons. The parish’s pride in its association with the Royal
Engineers was reflected in the beautiful decoration with poppies of a window near the memorial chapel to the engineers. After the service there was a procession to the

by the chairman, Mr Geoff Isherwood and there was a roll-call of old boys going back to the oldest member pres ent, Mr Tom Rushton, o f Chatburn Road, Clithcroe, who joined

a toast to the associa tion, with the response c omi n g f r om Mr Adams, who retired from the school this summer a fter more than 35 years, during which he served as act

Headmaster Mr Clive
