Towns and villages across the Stroud district stood silent on Sunday as people gathered to mark 100 years since World War One was brought to an end.

Residents, veterans, serving military personnel, community groups, emergency service staff and politicians were all present at the moving ceremonies that remembered those who perished in conflict from our area and beyond.

Stroud’s ceremony, pictured in the above gallery, took place in Park Gardens on Slad Road, with people arriving before the 11am silence.

Remembrance in Stonehouse began at 10.30am with a parade that made its way from Regents Street then along the High Street to the Memorial Green for a service.

Before the silence and laying of wreaths, the names of those from Stonehouse who died in the war were read out.

Nailsworth and Minchinhampton’s ceremonies took place against the backdrop poppies knitted in the run up to Remembrance - the former’s display features around 10,000.

Remembrance events continued right until the end of the day with villages like Arlingham - in the horseshoe of the River Severn - basked in an orange glow as churches lit braziers at 7pm.
