PICTURE SPECIAL: Harrogate comes together to remember those who gave their lives for their country

A number of special services and events were held across the Harrogate district at the weekend to mark Remembrance Sunday.

On November 13, the country came together to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women who have died in wars and other military conflicts.

A parade took place at the War Memorial in Harrogate town centre which included representatives from the Army Foundation College, the Royal British Legion, regimental associations and uniformed cadets, guides and scouts.

A number of other services also took place across the region, including in Ripon, Wetherby, Knaresborough and Nidderdale.
