PEOPLE turned out in their thousands at special services in towns and villages across East Lancashire to remember the fallen in conflict and mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War.

Civic dignitaries joined military families and ordinary citizens in weather-laying ceremonies at war memorials at 11am with the traditional two minutes silence to respect those who lost their lives in two World Wars and other conflicts around the globe since.

Here are some of the best pictures from commemorations in Bacup.

Rossendale and Darwen MP Jake Berry was among those paying tribute to the fallen.

The pictures were captured by SS Digital Images.
