THE annual Remembrance Service at the War Memorial in Grays High Street was once again well attended.

The service was led by the Rev Dr Kate Cooper and the chairman of Grays Thurrock Royal British Legion Peter Eates.

Music was provided by Grays Town Band, with the Last Post and Reveille played by its musical director Dave Honeywell.

Civic dignitaries and children played an equal role in playing tribute.

Thurrock MP Jen Craft was among these who laid wreaths with others including Mayor Cllr Bill Cook and Thurrock council leader Cllr Richard Bingley.

The ceremony started and finished with a parade led by Pipes and Drums and was followed by a reception at the Royal Air Forces Association Club on Southend Road.
