People across the North West remember those killed on our roads
The World Day of Remembrance is dedicated to victims of crashes and also honours the emergency services who turn out to try and save lives
Services are taking place here in the North West and across the nation today to remember all those killed on the UK's roads.
The World Day of Remembrance is dedicated to victims of crashes and also honours the emergency services who turn out to try and save lives.
Sharron Huddleston is one of the many taking part in one of the events, organised by Road Peace.
She lost her 18-year-old daughter Caitlin in a horror crash in 2017, and told us: "Five families a day will receive a knock on the door, getting the devastating news that their lives will never be the same again.
"World Day of Remembrance is so close to Caitlin's birthday - when she should be turning 26.
"Sadly, for us, she will forever be 18 years old, and I have found immense support in connecting with bereaved parents who've lost a child in similar circumstances.
"These crashes should not be accepted by society, and that's exactly what today is all about - we need to strive for zero road deaths a day, not five, which is what we see today."
Here in the North West, services are taking place in Preston and Liverpool.
