Description |
A snapshot of the events taking place in Manchester to commemorate the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, from wreath laying in St Peter’s Square to children making ‘memory tiles’ for the fallen soldiers, and living history re-enactors engaging with visitors. The events culminate in the live performance by a children’s choir, Halle orchestra, speakers, and dancers on an open-air stage in Heaton Park. |
