People of all ages gathered across Fenland on Sunday to honour the district’s fallen at annual Remembrance Day events.
In March, thousands turned out to line the town centre to watch the annual parade led by the band of the March Air 1220 Squadron Air Cadets.
As always, the parade mustered in Mill View car park before marching to St Peter's Church for the annual service of remembrance led by the Rev Andrew Smith.
The parade then returned to Broad Street for the laying of the poppy wreaths by representatives from dozens of the town's organisations and businesses.
There was a similar commemoration in Wisbech where local MP Steve Barclay joined the annual Remembrance Day parade.
Wisbech Town Council organised the event with the town’s Royal British Legion branch, and Mayor Lucie Foice-Beard also attended.
Among the many veterans gathered was 103-year-old Stanley Eastgate, a veteran of the Second World War who laid a wreath in memory of his fallen comrades.
People observed a two-minute silence at 11am in both March and Wisbech.
Mr Barclay, who also attended the commemoration in Chatteris in the afternoon, said: "Thank you to the Royal British Legion, and to all those who attended services today to mark Remembrance Sunday.
"A poignant day where we come together to honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our freedom.
"In Wisbech, it was particularly special to see 103-year-old World War 2 veteran Stanley Eastgate, who joined the parade."
