SCORES of people turned out to pay their respects at Bracknell's war memorial on Remembrance Sunday earlier today.

A crowd of all ages gathered at the town's memorial just outside the Princess Square shopping centre to take part in the nationwide commemoration.

Civic dignitaries, veterans and representatives of charities and youth groups laid wreaths at the war memorial before church bells rang out to mark the start of the two minute silence.

A crowd of people including families and children watched on and paid their respects during the ceremony.

Amongst them was Henry Kerry, who followed his father into the army, serving with the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars in Burma, Egypt and India.

He said between himself and his father the two of them had served in the armed forces for a total of 60 years.

He said: "My father was in the First World War, that's part of why I'm here.

"The main thing is remembering my old comrades from the two wars and especially my father.

"He had 33 years in the army and I had 27."

Reverend Jim Barlow from Holy Trinity Church addressed the crowd, leading a short prayer for those who serve overseas as well as the family and friends of those who gave their lives in conflicts across the globe.

The Reading Pipe Band led a procession to the church where a service was held after the ceremony at the war memorial.
