Veterans, members of the Royal British Legion and civic guests congregated at the bandstand for a poignant ceremony on Sunday.

They were joined by local dignitaries including Hemel Hempstead MP Mike Penning at the bandstand before they marched down to the war memorial in Boxmoor.

There was a march to the memorial before wreaths were laid and a service was held inside St John’s Church.

Services were held across the country to honour those killed in war as part of Remembrance Sunday.

A two minute silence marks the end of the First World War which were observed during on November 11, and on Armistice Day itself.
