The procession included local Freemen, the Lord Mayor Of Hale Mr Mal Sutton plus members of the Local Parish Council and Halton Councilor for the Hale Ward Mr Mike Wharton, the parade was lead by the Scots Band.

The service at the War Memorial included hymns, prayers, blessings and the two minutes silence at 11.00am, later followed by the laying of wreaths at the base of the memorial by Councilors, local community groups and those villagers who had brought their own to lay.
