Thousands of people turned out in Dudley and fell silent to remember those who gave their lives fighting for our freedom.
Ex-servicemen and women, servicemen and women and reservists along with community groups paraded through the town centre before the annual service at the Cenotaph in Coronation Gardens and two-minute silence.
Councillor David Stanley, Mayor of Dudley said:
The service was attended by Mr John Crabtree OBE, Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of the West Midlands
Community organised services were also held across the borough, including events in Stourbridge, Halesowen, Coseley, Cradley, Gornal, Kingswinford, Lye, Netherton, Quarry Bank, Sedgley, Wall Heath and Wordsley.
Veterans also joined council staff, councillors and members of the public at the First World War Clock Tower Memorial in Priory Street for the annual Armistice Day to mark the end of the First World War service.
The service started at 10.50am and included the laying of wreaths and a two minute silence.
Priory Street were closed on the morning and alternative routes were signposted throughout the closures from 8am to 1pm.
