Remembrance Sunday events across West Oxfordshire brought together residents, veterans, young cadets and visitors to honour service personnel who died for their country.
In Chipping Norton, a Cotswold town, decorated veterans attended alongside cadets and large crowds.
The town’s Remembrance Day Parade and Service featured military standards, red poppies and ceremonial uniforms.
Uniformed participants carried colourful standards while cadets formed lines along the route.
A piper performed in ceremonial clothing as spectators watched the proceedings.
Chipping Norton Town Council expressed pride in supporting the occasion and offered thanks to everyone who participated, attended or assisted with the arrangements.
Volunteer marshals were recognised for helping the parade proceed safely and smoothly.
Staff from Penhurst Gardens Care Home also received thanks for catering and supplying refreshments to those involved.
A substantial crowd was also recorded in Witney, where youth organisations, members of the Royal British Legion and local residents gathered for the town’s Remembrance Service.
Charlie Maynard, the MP for Witney, placed a wreath at the parade.
He described the experience as an honour and said the ceremony recognised the sacrifice and bravery of service men and women whose deaths secured the freedoms enjoyed today.
Maynard also acknowledged colleagues who had laid wreaths on his behalf in Bampton, Carterton, Faringdon, Shrivenham, Burford and Brize Norton.
Further commemorations are planned in Chipping Norton for Armistice Day.
Another service is scheduled for 10.45am on Wednesday, November 11, at the town’s War Memorial.
