Hundreds of people were in the city for the Annual Festival of Remembrance held at Wakefield Cathedral on Friday, which included an act of remembrance and a parade through the city centre.
Veterans and Wakefield residents join together to remember the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our freedoms.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Wakefield, Coun David Jones and Mrs Annette Jones, lead the two minute silence and placed poppy wreaths alongside Deputy Mayor, Councillor Josie Pritchard, Captain John Thompson, and children from Pinders Primary School.
