Hundreds of veterans, serving personnel and members of the public have marked Remembrance Sunday at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
The British Army Band Catterick performed for the crowd gathered at the Armed Forces Memorial.
Army nurse Bethany Neame, from the talent in the ranks programme, sang Guiding Light.
After the performance, Dr Susan Weller, Archdeacon of Lichfield, prayed for those “whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present have been given and taken away”.
A two-minute silence was then observed.
Following the silence, Reverend Vic Van Den Bergh read a prayer.
“We pray for all who have died or suffer as a result of conflict,” he said.
“Those whose lives are disfigured by war or terror, for servicemen and women, for civilians, for those held captive, each one remembered by and known to God.”
The national anthem was then sung, before attendees solemnly paid their respects with the laying of wreaths as the Black Voices group performed a medley.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
