Crowds gathered across west Dorset to remember the fallen at a number of Remembrance Sunday events over the weekend.

As tradition, towns across the county congregated to pay their respects to those who gave their lives fighting in both the first and second World Wars and subsequent later conflicts.

At 11am, the country fell silent for two minutes, with many bowing their heads wherever they were to reflect and remember.

In Beaminster, an annual parade and service was held, moving off from the fire station at 2.30pm through town towards St Mary’s Church for a moving service.

Wreaths were laid and candles were lit by veterans and other serving members of the forces.

As always, the event was well attended by many who wished to show their support and respect to those who sacrificed everything in the name of freedom.
