Communities across the Wakefield district unite to remember the fallen

Residents, veterans, community organisations and representatives from local groups came together across the district on Remembrance Sunday to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

In Castleford, representatives from Castleford Tigers joined the town's Remembrance service at the War Memorial on Powell Street.

Ossett's commemorations centred on Trinity Church, followed by a parade into the town centre for a short Act of Remembrance.

In Featherstone, Remembrance events were organised in partnership with the Royal British Legion, with services at Featherstone War Memorial Gardens and St Thomas War Memorial.

Pontefract's annual parade brought together representatives from the Armed Forces, veterans, cadets, civic organisations and community groups.

Following the traditional Act of Remembrance at the town's War Memorial, the parade returned through the town centre before a civic service at St Giles' Church.

Here’s a collection of pictures from the day.
