Photo Gallery: Remembrance Sunday Civic Service in Birkenhead

Thousands gathered to pay their respects at Remembrance Sunday services and parades across Wirral on Sunday 8 November.

The Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Mary Jordan, led the Civic Service in Hamilton Square, Birkenhead, where she laid a wreath on behalf of the people of Wirral, alongside Deputy Lieutenant, Sue Higginson OBE DL, who did so on behalf of His Majesty The King.

The Mayor said:
"Remembrance Sunday is a chance for us to come together as a community to remember all those who served, sacrificed and, in so many cases, gave their lives for others.

"As the years pass it is important that we continue to honour the sacrifices and stories of those who have gone before us, and to make sure we pass them on to future generations."
