The Spennymoor Remembrance Service was one again well attended. The act of Remembrance was preceded by a church service at Spennymoor Town Hall.

The Act of Remembrance took place at the war memorial, the first wreath laid by Deputy Lord Lieutenant Maura Ragan, followed by Town Mayor Cllr. Billy Macaloon, veterans, civic dignitaries and town organisations.

The Last Post and Reveille was played by a member of Spennymoor Town Band.

A first for this years service was the firing of two Poppy Cannons, contents of which floated down from the sky as the standards were lowered for the minutes silence.
