Harrow fell silent to remember those who died in conflicts, veterans and those serving in the armed forces.

Crowds came together to watch the parade in Harrow town centre led by the 131 Commando Squadron Royal Engineers.

They were joined by the Glen Trew Pipe Ban, The Royal British Legion, Gurka veterans, cadets, scouts, volunteers and other organisations.

The service was led by vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Wealdstone, the Rev Mark Maloney, with prayers also from Rabbi Kathleen De Magitge-Middleton.

Representing all faiths in Harrow, the Harrow Interfaith Council read out the interfaith Act of Commitment.

Mayor of Harrow Cllr Margaret Davine led the wreath laying ceremony, which was followed by a two-minute silence.

Winning poems from the Mayor’s Remembrance Day poetry competition were also read out and both winners and runners up were later awarded with certificates in the mayor’s parlour.

Cllr Davine said: “It was fantastic to see all the ages, faiths and community groups come to pay tribute and remember those who gave their lives for our tomorrow.

"Remembrance Sunday is a time for us to reflect upon and honour veterans and serving members of our armed forces defending our country and the freedoms so many of us take for granted.

"I’d like to thank everyone for attending our Remembrance Day Service.”
