WESTON-super-Mare fell silent for two minutes on Remembrance Sunday, November 10 as the town paid respect to those who fell in two world wars and later conflicts.

Grove Park was the centre of attention for the many hundreds who brave the November weather to watch and participate as serving and retired military, forces benevolent organisations, cadets, scouts, guides and other uniformed organisations march to the War Memorial for the Act of Remembrance.

The parade assembled in the Italian Gardens and, for the first time, was joined this year by the Mayor, Lieutenancy, councillors and other dignitaries as they process from the town council's new headquarters in Waterloo Street.

It was led by a band the parade moves off at 10.25am for the short march into Grove Park.

The traditional Act of Remembrance was led by the chaplains and involved music, readings, prayer, National Anthem and wreath laying.

At 11 o'clock Last Post signalled silence, then for two minutes nothing stirred until the buglers' Reveille.

Once the formal parade ended, members of the public were invited to plant memorial crosses or similar tokens of remembrance at the Field of Remembrance alongside the War Memorial.
