BURY Council will remember the fallen on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month this year - and they want the rest of the borough to join them.
A flare will be fired from outside Bury Town Hall on Tuesday at 11am to publicly mark the start of the two-minute silence, and another will be fired to signal the end.
Coun Derek Boden, leader of Bury Council, said: "We do feel it appropriate that Bury should join in this nationwide tribute to the soldiers, sailors and airmen who have given their lives in past conflicts.
"Our own staff have been invited to observe the two minute silence and we would ask the public to allow them to do so."
