Members of the public were invited to welcome a new 200ft banner, which features many elements of Hyndburn’s heritage and culture.
The new banner was installed in Broadway, Accrington, as a replacement for the Accrington Pal’s Banner, which had come to the end of its life after almost 10 years in place. Town Crier, Rawden Kerr, wrote a Cry for the occasion, which was proclaimed at midday for the crowd on Saturday, October 21.
Before the civic ceremony to formally welcome the banner, representatives from the community were invited to a ‘Thank You’ event hosted by the Mayor and Mayoress for their input into the works so far. “We will say goodbye to the Accrington Pals Banner, and welcome the new one. “I am really proud to have the honour of being Hyndburn’s mayor during such an exciting time of change and it is my privilege to be here with you.”
