The procession, which was led by Burnley Salvation Army Band, started from Overtown and proceeded along Red Lees Road to the church. Sunday school children, church members and members of the Mothers' Union and Men's Society joined in the procession. This was followed by a service, which was conducted by the Rev. J. Hoban, from Glasson Dock, near Morecambe.
