THE launch of the new Communicare NHS Trust was marked with three simultaneous ceremonies in Blackburn, Accrington and Clitheroe.
It was set up to provide health services for Blackburn, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley and be more in touch and responsive to the needs of the community.
Elsewhere, Blackburn bride Marion Carroll was 90 minutes late for her wedding at Pleasington Priory - after her bridal car got stuck in roadworks.
