MP calls for local Remembrance Day parade to be reinstated

Local MP Tim Farron is calling for Kendal's annual Remembrance Day parade to be reinstated.

This year's parade was cancelled because of a change in arrangements to mark the 100^th anniversary of the end of World War One.

Tim is calling for a meeting with representatives from the town council, the Legion and the police to find a way of putting the parade back on.

Tim said: "The Remembrance Day parade is a very special moment in Kendal's calendar as it gives local people the chance to show our appreciation for those who gave everything so that we could have a better tomorrow.

"There is overwhelming public support for the parade and I'm optimistic that we can find a solution."
