HUNDREDS of residents gathered in Barnsley town centre on Sunday to pay their respects to those who made the ‘ultimate sacrifice’.
In a service held outside the town hall, representatives of the armed forces community were invited to lay wreaths alongside the Mayor of Barnsley Sarah Tattersall.
Almost 100 Barnsley Singers - an adult choir - were present at the service.
A spokesperson for the group said: “They sang with quality and sincerity alongside Barnsley Met Band and their conductor, Alex Francis.
“They sounded fantastic as ever.
“Well done to all who sang, you were a credit to our town and community.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
