Salford Council's Groundworks Team have installed 12 stunning silhouettes at the site of the veterans memorial garden on Chorley Road in Swinton. The silhouettes depicting men and women from within all branches of the armed forces were produced by staff and students at Salford City Skills College and they look amazing as they stand tall and proud overlooking the cenotaph. The installation has been put in place ahead of services of remembrance planned across the whole city which are to take place during the weekend. You can find more photos of the Silhouettes within our Remembrance 2023 Gallery which will be updated with photos leading up to and on Remembrance Sunday itself. The whole area has been transformed in recent years and it is looking fantastic as a long lasting tribute to those brave men and women of our armed forces who ultimately paid the ultimate sacrifice. Last week we visited the dedication and blessing ceremony of memorial benches and the Gallipoli memorial which took place at the garden, all of which were installed thanks to the tireless work of Glen Croston who masterminded the project.
