Silence fell across Oxfordshire yesterday, as people stood to remember those who lost their lives in war.
Thousands of people around the county packed churches and gathered around war memorials to lay wreathes and pay their respects to those who died in the two world wars and other conflicts.
Among those marking the sombre occasion were ex-servicemen and women, supporters of the Royal British Legion, Scouts and Guides, army and air cadets, Thames Valley Police and Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.
At 11am, people stood for the two-minute silence, heralded by The Last Post.
The largest ceremony took place in St Giles, Oxford, where crowds applauded a procession of ex-servicemen.
Oxford Caledonian Pipe Band led Didcot's Remembrance parade through the town for a service at the war memorial next to the Civic Hall.
The parade of ex-service organisations assembled in Edinburgh Drive car park before marching to the memorial sundial in Smallbone Recreation Ground, Britwell Road.
