AN Army cadet band added a musical touch to a memorial ceremony in Cumbria.
At Durham Army Cadet Force's annual camp, the cadet Borneo band played at a ceremony to honour the dead, at the village of Warcop near the A66 in Cumbria.
In common with most towns and villages, Warcop has a war memorial recording the names of 64 servicemen who fought in the First World War, 11 of whom were killed in action.
Another five names, including that of one civilian, are recorded as having lost their lives in the Second World War.
Major Steve Ramsey, of the cadet force, said: "With the encouragement of Warcop Parish Council, the service was led by the chaplains of Durham cadets, Padres Alan Hughes and Paul McCourt.
"Lieutenant Colonel Chris Tearney introduced the ceremony and thanked the village community for allowing the cadet force, comprising cadets and adults, to share the time of remembrance with them."
The band played the Durham Light Infantry's regimental hymn, Abide With Me, after the Last Post and Reveille were sounded. A wreath was also laid.
