YOUNG and old paraded through the streets of St Austell as the annual Remembrance Sunday commemorations took place.

The parade passed through the town centre to the war memorial outside Holy Trinity Church where wreaths were laid and a two-minute silence was observed.

The parade returned through Fore Street and then a service was held in St John’s Methodist Church.

Town clerk David Pooley said: “Remembrance Sunday in St Austell was a beautiful sunny day and it was fantastic to see so many people in the streets to watch the huge parade go by. After the wreath-laying ceremony, the parade marched back to St John’s Methodist Church for the service of Remembrance. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the event a special day for St Austell.”
