Every vantage point was taken as crowds flocked to Alton's Remembrance Sunday service at the Cairn war memorial.

Veterans and uniformed groups bearing their standards paraded from the Market Square to the High Street for the service.

There were prayers, hymns, poems and readings, the playing of the Last Post followed by two minutes' silence, and the laying of poppy wreaths to remember those who died in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
