A spokesman from Edale Mountain Rescue Team said: "The team have finished the day of remembrance helping to transport and erect an Armistice Beacon on a local hill. The parish council approached us for assistance, as 2 50kg gas bottles needed taking up the hill.

"Team members used our Bell stretcher to help with the logistics, and assisted those present in the ceremony of remembrance."
