Darlington paused together with the rest of the region to remember our war fallen on Sunday.

A service was held at 10am at the Holy Trinity Church on Woodland Road before a procession to the Cenotaph in the grounds of the Memorial Hospital.

Crowds lined the streets to pay their respects to those who died in battle as veterans were among those to make their way from the church to the memorial.

An act of remembrance was held on 11am as the town fell silent.

It was followed by the iconic tones of Last Post and the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph, including by children, veterans and local politicians including MP Peter Gibson and Mayor Cllr Jan Cossins.

The cenotaph was draped in red poppies – the symbol of remembrance – in an emotional service.

It followed a two minutes’ silence held at 11am on Saturday, November 11, the moment hostilities ended during the First World War 105 years ago.

The town’s cenotaph was unveiled on November 11, 1928, and finally this year the names of fallen men missing from the walls of the Memorial Hall for 95 years have been added. Those 200 names of Darlingtonians who died in the two world wars were added to the walls this week.
