Hundreds of people came out to the cenotaph in Richmond to reflect and remember those who gave their lives to serve and protect Canada.
Toddlers sitting on their parents' shoulders, seniors, children and entire families lined No. 3 Road in front of Richmond City Hall for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11.
The ceremony started at 10:20 a.m. with a parade that included units of Canadian veterans, members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, public safety agencies and cadet organizations.
Matthew McBride, master of ceremonies for Remembrance Day, led the public through the event to honour veterans who served and soldiers who are still serving in the Canadian forces.
The "Last Post" was performed by Bob Mullet, a musician and conductor of Richmond's Community Concert Band, as the entire street reflected during the two minutes of silence.
Mayor Malcolm Brodie, city councillors, local MLAs, veterans and organizations then laid wreaths at the cenotaph.
