Mytholmroyd’s Remembrance Sunday began with a parade from Mytholmroyd Community Centre to the Mytholmroyd Memorial Gardens.
Around 150 to 200 people attended the service at the Garden of Remembrance in Centre Vale Park, Todmorden.
The Todmorden branch of the Royal British Legion led off the parade, which included service personnel and veterans, and community groups including the Air Training Corps and Scouts, along Burnley Road to the park from Todmorden town centre.
Local politicians joined service and community groups laying wreaths at the ceremony, which was conducted by Vicar of Todmorden, Rev Catherine Shelley.
Wreath layers included the Mayor of Todmorden, Coun Mary Carrigan.
Todmorden Community Band played at the service, where hymns included Abide With Me, with the Last Post played by Helen Stansfield.
The Exhortation was given by Bill Birch of the Royal British Legion.
After the service the parade formed back up to make its way back through the park, the Mayor taking the salute.
The Remembrance Service in Bailiff Bridge saw schools, groups and members of public attend.
Junior school pupils sang Jerusalem and students from Lightcliffe Academy sang We’ll Meet Again before the national anthem.
A Remembrance Service was held at Sowerby Bridge Railway Station in the Brontë Garden, conducted by John and Val Frankland.
Wreaths were placed by Christine Harris (Deputy Lieutenant of West Yorkshire), Richard Isaac (Northern), Mike Payne (Friends of Sowerby Bridge Railway Station) Halina Dennison and Sowerby Bridge Rotary Club.
An authentic Lancashire and Yorkshire Whistle was used to mark the start of the two minute silence.
For the 2026 Remembrance Season, The Friends of Lister Lane Cemetery, Halifax have sponsored new commemorative Poppy Crosses.
These were constructed with the help of Halifax businesses Hyline Fabrications and The Pottery Café.
A cross was placed on each of the 25 memorials in the cemetery which commemorate those who made their final sacrifice during The Great War.
David Glover, chair of The Friends said: “The Friends group, which earned the King’s Award for Volunteer Service in 2023, have Remembered in November for many years.
"We draped the Cemetery Gates in Poppy curtains for Armistice Day 2018. What we do is just a small tribute to many brave men, the youngest just 18, whose names may otherwise be forgotten, and who laid down their lives for their country.”
