Rossendale remembers
Published on November 7, 2018 at 11:08 am
Beacons will be lit in Rossendale to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
The beacons at Rawtenstall Cemetery and on the hillside at Whitworth are among more than 1,000 which will be lit around the country at 7pm on November 11.
They symbolise the end of the darkness of war and the return to the light of peace, and are part of the national Battle’s Over commemorations.
