BUSY brass players will be left breathless on Remembrance Sunday as they chalk up a record five cenotaphs in one morning.

Cornet players from Eaton's Farnworth Band will be dashing around the Bolton borough to sound the moving Last Post at five separate remembrance ceremonies.

The band, which rehearses at Eaton's factory, Worsley Road North, Worsley, has been asked to play at two venues in Farnworth, two in Kearsley and one in Ainsworth.

It is the busiest day in the calendar for brass bands.

But Eaton's band will really have to pull out all the stops.

Band secretary Roy Farnworth said: "Remembrance Sunday is the busiest day in the brass band calendar."
