A SILENT tribute to people who lost their lives while serving their country will take place in Middlesbrough today.

The service, at the memorial garden in Albert Park at noon, has been organised by the Teesside branch of the Landing Ship Tanks and Landing Craft Association and will be attended by the group's national president and treasurer.

Prayers will be read, the Last Post will be played and wreaths will be placed on a Landing Craft Association plaque, before a two-minute silence.
