Sunday witnessed thousands of people from the Ribble Val­ ley don their poppies and pay their respect to the fallen of the Great War, the Second World War and subsequent conflicts, writes Ribble Val­ ley MP Nigel Evans. Many of the participants were paying their respects to fallen family members or friends, but even more were there to pay their respects to people they did not know.butwhoselivesweregiv- en in order that we may live in


peace and freedom. ■ Wiswell pays its homage by

Parish Church was bursting at the seams with attendees, with many young people present to hear Andy Fraud lead Clitheroe’s service of remembrance. We all had an opportunity to write prayersonredpaperpoppycards which were collected together to form a cross at the front of the al­ ter during the service.

Finally, the Billington act of
