I am retired and living in Austria. While watching the opening ceremony on Austrian TV I was stunned to hear mention of Accrington in the middle of the German language commentary. Especially moving as the brother of my grandmother was one of the Pals who died on 1st July 1916 and is named as one of the 'Missing of the Somme' on the memorial at Thiepval.
