REMEMBRANCE parades and services have taken place across Herefordshire this morning to commemorate those lost in conflict.
In Hereford, people lined the streets as the parade made its way up St Owen Street to St Peter's Square, where the annual Remembrance Sunday service takes place.
The city's event is the largest parade in the county.
Despite the weather, people also turned out across the county's market towns to pay their respects.
In Bromyard, the parade left the Tenbury Road car park and marched through the town, ending at St Peter’s Church for a 10.30am church service and honouring fallen military servicemen from across Britain and the Commonwealth.
