2018 Remembrance Weekend in Prescot

What’s happening in Prescot this Remembrance weekend?

To honour this year’s Remembrance Sunday and commemorate 100 years since the end of World War One, the Friends of Prescot Cemetery & Churchyard have once again installed their ‘field of poppies’ around the BI Memorial in the cemetery.

The cemetery group have bought a new iron bench in memory of the PALs, the soldiers stationed at Prescot Barracks during the Great War, and ‘Tommy’ silhouettes also stand in the churchyard to remember the fallen.
