IN PICTURES: Whitby pays respects to the fallen on Remembrance Sunday

A large crowd gathered in town on Sunday (November 9) as Whitby paid its respects to those who serve and have served with a series of special acts of remembrance.

The annual Remembrance Day parade of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), Whitby Veterans, and the Royal Air Force Air Cadets marched to Dock End, joined by veterans of the Recovery Mechanics Association.

This was followed by readings from the CO of RAF Fylingdales and an air cadet, the Last Post and the two-minute silence at 11am.

As well as services in town, there was an act of remembrance at the Lifeboat Station on Pier Road which included the Laying of the Poppies on the Sea.
