From Bill Rimmer, who is carrying the banner as the procession passes the Cemetery Lodge on Warrington Road. Next to Bill is Oswald Tomlin The size of St Mary's, and its dominance of the scene, is impressive.

Those were the days when people were proud of their faith. Nowadays you're considered to be a little bit odd if you go to church when you could be at a car boot sale for instance, or the Trafford Centre etc. Call me old fashioned but I don't think times have changed for the better, at least not in this respect.
