Decades ago, the streets that once echoed with the bustle of colliery life fell silent, filled instead with the measured tread of veterans, cadets, and the townspeople.
On this day of remembrance, the community paused, united in quiet reflection and a shared resolve to never forget the sacrifices of those who secured their freedoms. It was a poignant scene of respect and national pride, captured in time.
Here we take a look back at those who paid their respects and remember those who fought and died for our country.
