BOLTON will hold its annual Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration Service on Wednesday.

Ten local schools, a Holocaust survivor, Bolton School's violin quartet and many other community groups will be contributing to the event which takes place in the town hall's Festival Hall, beginning at 12.45pm.

Spokesman Chan Parmar said: "The theme is 'torn from home' which is about people who lose everything - families, friends, home, culture - and have to find a safe place elsewhere in the world to survive".
