Crowds marched through the streets of Haverhill on Sunday afternoon to remember those who gave their lives in war.

The town's annual Remembrance Day parade grows larger every year and attracts more attention since it has been re-routed through the town centre.

At the invitation of the Haverhill Branch of the Royal British Legion, MP Richard Spring joined the parade and marched to the war memorial in Witherfield Road, where he laid a wreath of remembrance.

Afterwards at St Mary's Church a Service of Remembrance for was held.

Mr Spring said: "The act of Remembrance for those who have given so much and paid the ultimate price is not diminished by the passing of years. I pay tribute to the Legion which does so much to ensure that Rmembrance Day remains our most important national day."
