Cities, towns and villages across the West Country fell silent this morning to mark Remembrance Sunday.
Lieutenant Colonel Gerald Kearse, a commanding officer in the Queens Royal Hussars who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and attended the service this morning in Tidworth, Wiltshire, told the BBC: "I like to reflect on those that have gone before us, especially in my regiment Hundreds of handmade poppies have been displayed overlooking Clevedon Pier, where a service was held to mark the day. In a scene repeated all over the country this morning a two-minutes silence was heard on iconic structure, with a rocket fired to signify the start of the silence.
A field of remembrance has also been set up to the right of the memorial, where people were allowed to leave their own tributes to the fallen.
