Hundreds of veterans, serving personnel and military organisations gathered in North Yorkshire for a special parade honouring those who have served their country and remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The All Services Parade took place at Eden Camp in Malton on Sunday, September 13, bringing together more than 650 veterans, military associations and organisations from across the UK.
The modern history museum, which tells the story of conflict and service, opened its gates at 10am and offered free entry to serving members of the armed forces, veterans, emergency services, and organisations supporting military personnel.
Nick Hill, museum manager at Eden Camp, said: “The All Services Parade was a fitting opportunity to come together to reflect and remember those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice, while also recognising and celebrating the contribution of those who continue to serve our control.
“It was a privilege to see so many people united in remembrance and respect.”
Beginning at 2.25pm, the parade featured the Yorkshire Volunteers Marching Band and included standards, veterans and cadet forces.
The group marched 250 metres before gathering for a Service of Remembrance.
During the service, the Standards were dipped as the Last Post was sounded, and a Minute’s Silence was observed in honour of those who have given their lives in service.
