A beacon will be lit to mark the centenary of the First World War.

The Royal Pageantmaster has invited the residents of White Colne to light the beacon at 7pm on November 11.

The commemoration is part of a nationwide event to mark the centennial anniversary of the end of the Great War.

Residents are invited to meet at the pavilion on the White Colne Meadows from 6.15pm.

The Last Post will be played at 6.55pm and the beacon-lighting ceremony will take place at 7pm.

White Colne will form part of a chain of beacons being lit throughout the country.

Mulled wine, tea, coffee and hot chocolate will be served afterwards.

Those attending should bring torches because access along the Chase is unlit.
