Copeland residents stood silent to honour fallen war heroes and remember the sacrifice they made for their country.
Poignant ceremonies were held across the borough, with veterans, services personnel, cadets, youth groups and civic dignitaries joining members of the public to mark Remembrance Sunday.
In Whitehaven, the procession made its way through town to Castle Park for a moving service led by the Reverend Robert Jackson at the town's war memorial.
Among those laying wreaths were representatives from the Royal British Legion branches, the armed forces, cadets, the Mayor of Copeland Mike Starkie, the Mayor of Whitehaven Charles Maudling and Copeland MP Trudy Harrison.
A service followed in the United Reformed Church, led by the Reverend Dave Harkison.
Mrs Harrison said: “It was a privilege as Copeland’s Member of Parliament to attend the Remembrance Sunday parade and service, and to lay a wreath at the memorial.
“We must never forget the sacrifices made so we can enjoy the freedoms we do today.”
Mr Starkie said: “It was an honour, and a privilege to once again take part in the Remembrance Sunday parade in Whitehaven.
“I am humbled each year to see how many people come out to pay their respects to those who gave their tomorrows for our today.
“Thank you to everyone who came and to all of those who took part in, and organised the parade. Lest we forget.”
Cllr Maudling said: “It was a great honour as town council mayor to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on Sunday to mark our respect and gratitude to all our fallen heroes. I felt very humble.
“It was lovely to see so many people attend and pay their respects to the parade leading to the Cenotaph. It was very memorable to be a small part of it.
“Thank you to all who came and were a part of Remembrance Sunday. Lest we forget.”
In Cleator Moor, a Remembrance service was held at St John’s Church, followed by wreath-laying at the war memorial on the Square, and a short service at the Methodist Church.
While in Egremont, a procession marched from Ehen Court Road to the War Memorial for a poignant service and wreath laying. The parade then made its way to the Cenotaph at St Mary's and St Michael's Church for a Remembrance Sunday service.
