45 poignant photos from parades and wreath laying services in Dewsbury, Mirfield, Cleckheaton and Birstall on Remembrance Sunday

In Dewsbury, a Service of Remembrance was held at the town’s minster either side of a parade which ended with a wreath laying ceremony at the Memorial Gardens on Longcauseway.

Thousands of people lined the streets in Mirfield for what is believed to be the largest parade of its kind outside of London before a service of remembrance and wreath laying was held in Ings Grove Park.

There was also a parade in Birstall which ended with the annual Remembrance service at St Peter’s Church, followed by wreath-laying in the graveyard.

The town of Cleckheaton also came together on Remembrance Sunday for a parade and service, whilst people in Batley paid their respects at a ceremony in the Memorial Garden.

A special exhibition honouring those who gave their lives in both world wars was also held on Remembrance Sunday, with avid military relics collector, Richard Perkins, welcoming people to the Rising Sun pub in Norristhorpe.
