Led by personnel from 3rd Battalion The Rifles, veterans and currently serving personnel paraded through the city, taking the applause of the crowds who lined the streets.

As 11am approached there was a moving rendition of the Last Post followed by gunfire from a military field gun and the sound of Big Ben to mark the start of two minutes of silence.
