In pictures: Cambridge falls silent as city honours the fallen on Remembrance Sunday

Cambridge fell silent on Sunday (10 November) to remember the sacrifices made by so many in all wars.

In the city, shortly before 11am, mayor Cllr Baiju Thittala was part of a procession from Station Road to the war memorial on Hills Road, where a wreath was laid.

Representatives of different organisations, including the Armed Forces and the Royal British Legion, took part in the commemorative service at the memorial.

Deputy mayor Cllr Dinah Pounds joined a procession to the county, city and University of Cambridge’s annual service of remembrance at Great St Mary’s Church. Both services were paused at 11am for a two-minute silence.

A church service was also held on Saturday (9 November) to honour the fallen Indian soldiers of World War I and World War II.

The service included readings, prayers, and reflections to pay tribute to the pivotal contributions of the Indian soldiers during both wars where a combined total of four million brave soldiers served.

Today (Armistice Day, Monday, 11 November), there will be a gathering outside the Guildhall from 10.55am with a reading from the deputy mayor, a bugler and Scottish pipes.

Cllr Thittala said: “I hope people will be able to take a moment to remember the sacrifices made by so many of their fellow Cambridge residents.”
