Streets and churches across Rutland and Stamford filled for the annual parades and services to commemorate and honour the sacrifice and service of armed forces personnel from Britain and the Commonwealth.
The day also remembers their families, and those who have lost their lives in conflict or terrorism.
In Uppingham St Peter and St Paul Church local Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and cadets joined in a service, led by Reverend Canon Allison Twigg, before laying wreaths on the war memorial outside, alongside the Mayor of Uppingham, High Sheriff of Rutland and Rutland’s Lord-Lieutenant amongst others.
The Cottesmore Military Wives choir sang two songs before a roll call of those from the parish who have lost their lives in war.
They were joined by representatives from the 504 Squadron RAF, 1st Military Working Dog Regiment and 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment.
Meanwhile in Stamford Broad Street was filled with locals for a parade of military personnel, veteran, cadets and members of the Royal British Legion.
A similar parade took place in Oakham and Oundle.
