1. Remembrance Sunday

We've only listed one event for Sunday, as there is only one thing we should all be doing.

In addition to today's silence for Armistice Day (November 11), there will also be another honouring of our fallen soldiers on November 14.

Starting just before 11am, the accompanying Macclesfield parade will start from Town Hall on Market Place, and walking to the Park Green Cenotaph ready for the 11 o'clock silence.

There will then be a service before, marching back up to the Town Hall for the Mayor and associates to take the salute.

Silk Brass will be attending, as will Macclesfield Nub News.

The road from Rainow into Macclesfield will be closed on Sunday morning, for the villages own Remembrance celebrations.
