SOMERSET was united in Remembrance on Sunday (November 10) when the county fell silent to honour The Fallen.

Remembrance Sunday ceremonies were held in cities, towns and villages across the county as people paid their respects.

Among them was a service at the war memorial in Shepton Mallet, where scores of people gathered.

“On this Remembrance Sunday, Shepton Mallet Town Council pays tribute to those who have selflessly served and sacrificed for our nation,” said a council spokesperson.

“As we honour their memory, we remember the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of our servicemen and women. Their enduring legacy lives on in our hearts and the freedoms we enjoy.

“Let us take a moment to reflect, to appreciate, and to ensure that the stories of courage and sacrifice are passed down through the generations.”

Other large ceremonies took place in Yeovil, Wells, Taunton and Weston-Super-Mare.

At 11am today (November 11) the country will fall silent once again.
