The public gathered across South Oxfordshire this weekend to pay their respects to military servicemen and servicewomen.
Councillors, police officers, military personnel, religious representatives and the public came together for Remembrance Sunday parades, services and to lay wreaths across the south of the county.
Police neighbourhood teams attended services and laid wreaths in several towns and villages.

County councillor for Abingdon South Neil Fawcett said: “I was pleased to see another great turnout in Abingdon on Sunday, and particularly to see so many young people in the parade and in the crowd.
Abingdon has long and historic ties with our armed forces and that was demonstrated by the dignified and serious mood on display."
The Abingdon neighbourhood team, along with the officers from the Special Constabulary and two cadets, showed their respects.
A spokesperson for the team said: “We remembered those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
“The area commander, superintendent Prescott-Mayling has the honour of attending the Remembrance Sunday Service at St Helens Church and then laid a wreath at the war memorial.
“It was lovely to see all the organisations, forces and emergency services taking part in the parade and all the members of the public, who came out in the rain.”
The Abingdon neighbourhood team also attended services and laid wreaths in Marcham, Cumnor, Wytham, Kennington, Sutton Courtenay and the Commonwealth War Graves, in North Hinksey.
Didcot and Wallingford neighbourhood team attended Wallingford and Didcot’s remembrance parades, and Thame’s neighbourhood team laid wreaths at Chalgrove, Chinnor, Watlington and Wheatley before taking part on the main parade in Thames.
