MAY I thank the people of Hyndburn and surrounding districts who attended the Accrington Pals Memorial service on Sunday, February 21?

It was a tremendous success and did proud the memory of the brave men of the 11th (Service) Battalion of the East Lancs Regiment - the Accrington Pals.

Anyone wishing to attend next year's service should contact me.

Corporal SHELLEY WHITEHEAD (4th Battalion, Queen's Lancashire Regiment) 20, Station Road, Great Harwood BB6 7BA.
