Yorkshire falls silent to mark Remembrance Sunday

Communities across Yorkshire marked Remembrance Sunday with services, parades, wreath-laying and the national two-minute silence, honouring people who died in service. The events brought together families, veterans, serving personnel and local groups, and highlighted how remembrance traditions are being carried on across generations.

In Leeds, hundreds watched a parade to Millennium Square, where 91-year-old veteran Kenneth Naylor served as a flag-bearer, a role he has held for 40 years. At Filey, more than 100 people attended a service that included campaigner Glenn Parsons, whose plaque commemorates 4,000 West Indian and Caribbean servicemen who trained nearby during the Second World War. Barnsley fire cadet Harley, 15, was among four South Yorkshire cadets chosen to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in London.
