Hundreds of Maldon veterans and members of the public gathered for Remembrance Day

The High Street in Maldon was closed on Sunday for the safety of the many who paid their tributes at the War Memorial.

Managed by Maldon Town Council and the Royal British Legion, there was a wreath-laying service and a march from former and current members of the service.

Town Mayor Andrew Lay said: “It was pleasing to see the town’s community gather together to honour the sacrifice made by others at the service in the centre of the town.
