Pots and Pans Memorial, by gamelee

Pots and Pans Memorial,

This War Memorial, visible on the skyline from most places in Saddleworth, is located on the hill above Greenfield. Constructed in 1923, the site is known locally as Pots and Pans - deriving its name from a set of rocks at the top which is said to resemble a collection of pots and pans. The Remembrance Service held up here each November is an incredibly moving occasion, made all the more solemn and meaningful when the bugle starts up with The Last Post.
A fantastic capture. Fav.

A great place to have a War memorial and memorial service where the bugle sound will carry to all directions (as we would say in Welsh --"I bedwar ban y byd " = to the four corners of the world ) Love the wild and remote location !

You have caught the feel of this place very well with this pov. I can imagine the poignancy of the last post from here so well.

Despite being around Manchester for the last 15 years, I've never heard of this service so thanks for that. Lovely well exposed shot.
