Residents gathered in Calne town centre on Sunday 8th November for the town's annual Remembrance Sunday parade and church service, with veterans, uniformed organisations and community groups taking part.
The procession made its way through the town, led by standard bearers carrying the flags of the organisations represented. Veterans marched alongside members of local youth organisations, including Scouts, Boys' Brigade, Girls' Association, Brownies and Guides. The town was also represented by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, town councillors, the Town Crier and the Town Clerk, who joined the parade alongside the other organisations taking part.
At St Mary's Church, the gathering came together for the Remembrance service, led by the Rev Caspar Bush.
Following the service, wreaths were laid at the war memorial as representatives from the various organisations paid their respects and a two-minute silence was observed.
The parade then reformed for the return march through the town centre.
