At the service, members of the Armed Forces, veterans and locals gathered to pay their respects to service men and women who lost their lives fighting for their country.

Earlier today, people across the UK paid tribute to Britain’s war dead, falling silent for two minutes at 11 o’clock.

In London, the Queen led the nation as she laid a wreath at the Cenotaph.

Her Majesty was joined by Prime Minster Theresa May, who said the occasion should also be a time for honouring the bravery of British forces fighting Islamic State, assisting UN peacekeeping efforts in Africa or fighting piracy.

This year’s remembrance events are especially poignant as 2016 marks the centenary of the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Jutland, the 25th anniversary of the Gulf War and the 80th anniversary of the first flight of the Supermarine Spitfire.
