After the Somme - Remembering the Accrington Pals
In August 1916, whole communities were in shock, grieving for the dead and missing of the Somme. Father Andrew Martlew leads worship from the Accrington's Pals' Memorial Chapel.
100 years on, we've remembered those who fell in battle: but what of those they left behind to battle the grief and hardship of bereavement? Father Andrew Martlew leads worship from the Pals' Memorial Chapel, St John's Church, Accrington. Accompanied on the organ by Richard Tanner, St Christopher's CofE High School Choir is directed by Helen Davies, and is joined by choirs and congregations representing communities throughout East Lancashire and beyond where lives and history were changed forever after the Somme. Producer: Rowan Morton Gledhill.
