We will remember them.

I agree, perhaps if we'd suggested putting a twenty foot high soldier on top of the Coppice it would not have received so much antagonism as modern art is doing. But, and again, this is my personal opinion, I don't think we should hang the whole future of our town on 80 year old history (Tiffany glass, Accrington Stanley's glory days and Accrington Pals). We have memorials for the Pals in town and I agree they are a huge part of our history and should never be forgotten but we have to look to the future.
