Low-key services honour the fallen
All areas: Scaled back ceremonies honour past sacrifices
Respects were paid as scaled back Remembrance Sunday services in the area commemorated those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
In Windsor, the traditional parade could not take place and crowds normally lining the streets were asked to remember at home.
Elsewhere, churches and parish councils turned to live streaming services on YouTube.
Instead, the Royal Borough held a private ceremony at the Parish Church war memorial in High Street.
Wreaths were laid on the memorial by deputy mayor Councillor Gary
Muir (Con, Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury) and from group representatives invited to attend.
The council’s deputy leader, Cllr Samantha Rayner (Con, Eton and Castle) and Cllr Neil Knowles (OWRA, Old Windsor) were among those in attendance.
Cllr Rayner offered her thanks to Lt Col James Gayner, commanding officer of 7th Battalion The Rifles, which has attended the service for 42 years.
Officers from Thames Valley Police and firefighters at Windsor Fire Station also took time out to remember the fallen.
Eton Wick also held a service, which was attended by Guardsman Thomas from 1st Battalion Welsh
Guards, who travelled from Somerset to play the Last Post on the bugle.
In Ascot, an artist created a blanket of purple poppies which light up a war memorial opposite Heatherwood Hospital.
Jenna Fox created the installation in conjunction with the War Horse Memorial – a charity remembering the lives of service animals used during the First World War. The installation will be up for the duration of November.
Over in Burnham, young members of the 1st
Burnham and Hitcham Scouts paid their respects by observing the two-minute silence on their doorsteps, as advised by the RBL.
Elsewhere in the village, a Remembrance service was held at the war memorial, attended by members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, from Slough.
In Langley, Ian Mack set up an impressive display within his front garden in Stanley Green.
People also fell silent at 11am on Wednesday to mark Armistice Day – the day an agreement was made to end the fighting of the First World War.
