Royston and South Cambs residents, as well as local politicians, paid tribute to those who lost their lives in wartime for Remembrance Day.

A service was held at Royston War Memorial on Friday, November 11, to mark Armistice Day, followed by a service of Remembrance at the 91st BG(H) Memorial in Priory Gardens.

The Remembrance Parade was held on Sunday, and a service of Remembrance took place at the War Memorial.

Melbourn Springs Care Home produced a display of poppies to mark the day, as well as taking part in the two-minute silence and watching the televised service.

Some residents also visited The Cenotaph and joined the Remembrance Sunday procession to commemorate members of the Armed Forces who have died in the line of duty.

For those who did not go to the parade, a Remembrance service was also held in the home's garden, hosted by Reverend Sue.

Speaking about the poppy display, general manager Maria Anghelide said: "Melbourn Springs activities team, residents and the wonderful local community have got together and produced this amazing display to commemorate all the heroes who gave their service and sacrifice to defended our freedom.

"To all those lovely people who knitted, crocheted, cut and sewed, we are so grateful! Thank you, it hangs proudly outside our home."

North East Herts MP Sir Oliver Heald and South Cambs MP Anthony Browne also paid tribute to fallen heroes at Westminster's Garden of Remembrance.

The garden contains 650 crosses - one for each of the parliamentary constituencies across the country.

After planting his cross, Mr Browne said: "I was named after my grandfather, Anthony Howe Browne, who was killed in World War II, so Remembrance Day is particularly personal for me. I will be forever grateful for his service, and the sacrifice of all those that have defended the freedoms we hold dear."

Sir Oliver, who also planted a cross for his constituency, added: "I visited the battlegrounds of WWI with Herts at War and was moved by the sacrifice of so many boys from our area. They will not be forgotten nor those who followed in later wars."
