Let's make this one a year for the history books.
It is with a very heavy heart that we have to say our farewell to our good friend Alex Channon who has sadly passed away. Alex was a wonderful man who championed those who both worked and lost their lives whilst working in the mining industry. We have fond memories of his time on the Fred And Flynny show as well as during all the events we attended together. Our sincere condolences to his friends and family. Alex, you were one in a million, your shift has now ended, rest in peace.
A huge thanks to Clare Grosvenor who was on hand to capture these photos of our Christmas OAP Party. Feel free to tag anyone you know.
Surely one of our supermarkets could donate one to such an amazing charitable institution.

We just wanted to say a few words about today's remembrance day parades and a huge thank you to all who attended them, as well as all those who watched the Eccles service online. We have been covering the Eccles Cenotaph for a number of years now and the one thing that blows both myselfTony FlynnFlynn away is the exponential growth in attendees, especially our younger generation who are exemplary in how they conduct themselves, both during and after the service. For all those mums and dads out there whose children attended, we salute you as they are all amazing, from the cadets to the guides and brownies, to those stood paying their respects alongside their parents, you really are amazing and so we thank you all. At a time when we are sadly losing some of our older generations which experienced the horrors of war first hand, it is heartwarming to know that their sacrifices shall truly never be forgotten and that the next generations will carry on keeping that light shining upon those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can all enjoy our today's. We honestly can not believe just how well attended the cenotaphs are and how beloved our armed forces and blue light services are in this city, it really is an honour to be a part of it and so once again we wish to say thank you and most importantly, Lest we forget.
Earlier this afternoon we took a trip over to St Paul's Church, Peel in Little Hulton to chat with the wonderful local councillor Teresa Pepper about the communities preparations to honour those who selflessly gave their tomorrows for our today, as the local community comes together as one to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.
