Harborough Falls Silent For Remembrance Sunday

Remembrance Sunday was marked with events across the Hfm region yesterday.

In Market Harborough, people gathered for a ceremony on The Square led by the Royal British Legion.

Dignitaries, including Harborough MP Neil O’Brien, placed wreaths on the War Memorial and a two minute’s silence was observed at 11am.

It was a scaled-back event again this year due to the pandemic, with no parade or church service.
