Pictures: Combe Martin remembers as village turns out for Remembrance Sunday

Combe Martin’s annual Remembrance Sunday Service honour the fallen and their sacrifice is always a major part of the village’s calendar and over the year’s many young villagers have served in the armed forces, some never to return home.

The annual parade of veterans as well as local uniformed services and residents proudly wearing the medals of relatives who served, made its way up the village to St Peter Ad Vincula Parish Church for the morning Remembrance Service.

This was followed by the traditional Act of Remembrance and laying of wreaths at the village war memorial, before the parade reformed.

As is also traditional, the parade fell out at The Castle Inn, where landlords Sharon and Dave O’Farrell hosted the gathering afterwards, as they and previous landlords have done for many years.
