A FLAME lit from the fires of Hiroshima passed through Burnley carried by members of an international nuclear disarmament group.
The flame was lit from the fires of Hiroshima after the atom bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945.
It is being carried from Aldermaston, where components for Britain's nuclear weapons are made, to the Trident nuclear submarine base at Faslane near Glasgow.
About 20 members of the group highlighting the disarmament cause called at St Andrew's Church, Duke Bar, led by Buddhist monks and nuns of Nipponzan Myohoji.
