Falmouth came together to remember the fallen today as the town marked Armistice Day.
Mayor and mayoress Steve and Vicky Eva were among the town councillors who joined veterans and members of the community on the Prince of Wales Pier for a brief service this morning.
This took place at the St Nazaire Memorial from 10.50am, to include a two-minute silence at 11am and the sounding of the Last Post.
Falmouth will gather again on Sunday, for the annual Remembrance Sunday Parade and service at Kimberley Park.
At 9.45am the civic party will assemble in the Atherton Suite at The Old Post Office on The Moor for light refreshments, before the parade is formed on The Moor at 10.25am under the Parade Marshal’s directions.
At 10.35am people will leave The Moor for the parade to Kimberley Park and service at 11am, conducted by Father Froom at the War Memorial including a two-minute silence and wreath laying.
The parade will then depart Kimberley Park to return to The Moor, to march past and salute the town mayor at 11.30am.
At 11.35am the parade will disperse for a reception at the Atherton Suite.
The town council will provide tea and coffee in the Atherton Suite following the parade on Sunday.
