Scores of people gathered to remember those who have given their lives in service on Remembrance Sunday in Winchester.
The day began with a parade, starting from The Broadway, at 9.30am, with both military and civic processions marching along the High Street.
Reverend Catherine Ogle, Dean of Winchester, then welcomed visitors to the cathedral for the service at 10am on Sunday, November 12.
Shortly before 11am, the congregation joined the hundreds gathered outside in the Outer Close for the official two minutes silence.
Wreaths were laid at the War Memorial by Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Nigel Atkinson, Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Angela Clear, MP Steve Brine and dozens of local groups and associations.
Steve said : "Winchester at its best this morning as we came together for our traditional service and Act of Remembrance."
The service closed with ‘The Blessing’ as read by Dean Catherine Ogle, before the crowds dispersed, with many taking the opportunity to speak to old friends and take memorable photos.
Chris George, chairman of the Royal British Legion and organiser of Winchester’s Poppy Appeal, said: “It went really well. The parade was fantastic and it’s nice to see so many people in the cathedral grounds again. I think it’s the first year since Covid we have had so many people.
“It’s important to remember the armed services and the ultimate sacrifice they gave so people can live their lives today.”
