Lyme Regis fell silent this morning as residents, veterans and local organisations came together to mark Remembrance Sunday.
A parade featuring members of the Royal British Legion, veterans, the civic party, Lyme Regis RNLI, Lyme Regis Coastguard, Lyme Regis Fire Crew, Rotary Club of Lyme Regis, Powder Monkeys Explorer Sea Scout Unit, 1st Lym Valley Scouts,
Lyme Regis Majorettes and Lyme Regis Pantomime Society made its way through Broad Street, Bridge Street and Church Street before arriving at St Michael’s Parish Church for a special service of remembrance.
Shortly before 11am, the parade reassembled and proceeded to the Town Square at Cobb Gate, where members of the community gathered to observe the two-minute silence in honour of all those who lost their lives in conflict.
The Last Post was sounded, marking a poignant and deeply moving moment as residents, visitors and local dignitaries stood together to pay their respects.
The service concluded with Lyme Regis Town Band playing the National Anthem, bringing the town’s Remembrance Sunday commemorations to a close.
