Services and parades will take place across Lancashire today to mark Remembrance Sunday - including Accrington, Blackpool and Burnley

At 11am today (10th November) a two-minute silence will be observed across the county and the whole of the UK to remember those who have died in military conflicts.

Similar to Armistice Day, two minutes silence will be observed at 11:00 between two bugle calls, 'The Last Post and 'The Reveille.'

Following the two-minute silence the King is expected to be the first to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in London on behalf of the nation.

There will be parades from veterans, various military groups, charities, marching bands and members of the public.
