Fallen soldiers were remembered by members of the Royal British Legion during a ceremony in The Netherlands. 

Egremont Royal British Legion attended the Silent March at Kamp Amersfoort, where over 200 Commonwealth heroes are buried. 

They joined a ceremony to mark the country's Remembrance Day, with hundreds of people taking part in a march before laying a wreath at the cemetery. The wreaths were laid by the mayors of Amersfoort and Luesden. 

John Edwards, the Egremont Legion Standard Bearer, said: "We've been going for five years now, we go in May for Liberation day over there. The first year we went they made us welcome and we've been invited back since.

"They really do look after us, even the mayors come to shake our hands. We're the only English people there, everyone is pleased to see us.

He added: "It was good this year, the weather was really nice. I was carrying the standard for the British Legion and Roy Kalligis carried it for the Dutch armed forces."

More than 400 casualties of the First and Second World War are buried at Amersfoort (Oud Leusden) General Cemetery. 

The Commonwealth plot contains the graves of one soldier and 143 airmen from the UK as well as 60 Canadian, 11 Australian, 13 New Zealand and six Polish airmen, 12 are unidentified. Most were killed on their way to or from bombing raids over Germany. 

In attendance from Egremont were Mr Edwards, Joe Fleming, Eddy Dixon, George Crayston, Kenny Southward, Steve Kirkbride and Bill Carrhar.
