MANY people came out to pay their respects to the eight million horses killed during World War One.
On a weekend of remembrance, families young and old turned out in Thornton Hough to pay their respects to the animals that lost their lives in the conflict.
Organised by Kerry Gibbons - who runs Demby Farm with her mum Janet Green - the Remembrance Cavalcade saw around 40 horses and their riders make their way to the village's war memorial on Saturday, November 9.
This year the cavalcade raised cash for Merseyside Police's mounted division.
Kerry told the Globe: "I would like to thank all in attendance for us and for their donations to the Merseyside Police mounted division.
"This year my ex-police horse Vesuvius was our War Horse and there were around 40 horses in attendance despite the cold, rain and snow.
"We were welcomed by St George’s church with wonderful hospitality, and the children read the poem ‘Don’t Cry for the Horses’, lead a minutes silence and stood in salute to The Last Post."
