Remembrance in Wakefield: Photos from services across the district to remember our fallen heroes

Services have been held across the Wakefield district to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice serving their country.

Remembrance is a time to pay respects to those who lost their lives in the two world wars and subsequent conflicts and the city saw hundreds attending services.

Veterans and serving personnel from the Armed Forces joined councillors, faith groups and community organisations to remember the fallen and service personnel.

In Wakefield on Sunday, November 8, people came together for the annual wreath laying service, taking part in the parade before the service.

People are invited to the War Memorial, opposite County Hall for 10.55am on Wednesday, November 11.

The Mayor, Coun Brian Moorhouse and children from Pinders Primary School, will lead the two-minute silence at 11am and lay wreaths.

Coun Karl Johnson, leader of Wakefield Council, said: “We must always remember those who have made huge sacrifices for our country and those who continue to do so.

“This is an impactful and important time of year, and I would encourage people to join us to pay their respects.”
