Hundreds of people attended the annual Wotton-under-Edge Remembrance Day parade and joined the rest of the nation for a minute’s silence at 11am.

The service was conducted by Rev Lesley Hewish, Priest in Charge of the Tyndale Benefice which includes St Mary’s Church in Wotton.

Wreaths were laid at the War Memorial in Old Town by representatives of groups and organisations including Wotton-under-Edge Town Council; Stroud District Council; The Royal British Legion; the Beaumont-le-Roger Society; Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and Gloucestershire Constabulary.

The memorial carries the names of the town’s 114 men killed in the First World War, and 15 who never returned from the Second World War.
