COURAGEOUS war veterans will be honoured at a special ceremony in Hale Village this weekend.

Royal British Legion members from Widnes, Runcorn and Hale are joining forces at 1pm on Sunday, June 25, to commemorate Veterans Day.

"We want to make veterans feel special," said organiser Jim Ross. "We will invite everyone to thank them by applauding them as they parade out."

A 1927 Soviet-made Pak Howitzer field gun will be unveiled by Halton MP Derek Twigg to complete the restoration of Hale war memorial.
