The ex-Servicemen were joined in


the procession by Mr Russ Pearce, chief executive a t the Whalley- based hospital, and Coun. Peter Ainsworth, the Mayor of the Ribble Valley, as well as local people. The veterans were also accompa­


nied by members of the Balderstone Brass Band. The parade began at 10-20 a.m. and made its way around the grounds of the hospital site before the taking of the salute. A church service, with the last


post and Reveille, was then held in the St Luke’s centre based in the


grounds of the hospital. The proces­ sion then made its way to the Whal­ ley military cemetery for the laying of the wreath. Mrs Lynn Caulfield support serv­


ices manager said: “The fact that the hospital was used as a military hospital during both world wars is an important part in the history of Calderstones NHS Trust. “We are extremely proud to be


able to put on the procession and pay our respects to the heroes who lost th e ir lives fighting for their country during the wars.”
