Veterans, young people and the public turned out in their hundreds to pay their respects on Remembrance Sunday in Watford.
A series of ceremonies took place across Watford, Three Rivers and Hertsmere today to pay respect for the fallen soldiers who lost their lives in conflicts.
The day of remembrance this year was extra special after Covid restrictions last year meant that traditional services were altered and disrupted.
