Remembrance Sunday is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.
We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.
Remembrance Day is held on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day, which this year will be on Sunday, November 9th.
Here are details of the services, parades and events happening locally.
