I am having difficulty getting through to the Observer's phone number - 0161 211 2977. Has anyone got any other number ? Is any Observer reporter a member on here ?

I am aware of only one person attending today who is descended from one of the names on the memorial. There must be more still in Accrington/Hyndburn.
