Hundreds gathered in Helston on a sunny morning to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in World Wars I and II and beyond.

Led by Helston Town Band in ceremonial dress, the Remembrance Sunday parade marched through Meneage Street and Coinagehall Street from Trengrouse Way Car Park shortly after 10:30 AM.
