Rotherham remembers - SLIDESHOW

UMBRELLAS were the order of the day as hundreds of people of all ages braved the wet weather in Rotherham to pay their respects to the war dead on Remembrance Sunday.

Events took place across the borough as those in Rotherham, along with people up and down the country, remembered those who have fallen in armed conflicts across the world.

A parade and a service in Rotherham Minster preceded the Act of Remembrance, with the two-minute silence at the war memorial in Clifton Park at 11am.

And the special service on Sunday morning also featured the rededication of the war memorial, renovated as part of the restoration work taking place in Clifton Park. The special rededication ceremony was performed by the Vicar of Rotherham, the Rev Canon David Bliss.
