Highbridge residents took part in a Remembrance Day ceremony at the town’s War Memorial on Sunday (November 14th) to honour those who have died in conflicts.
A service of remembrance took place at St John’s Church and this was followed by a short parade to the War Memorial, including local youth groups and cadets.
Burnham and Highbridge MP James Heappey and Mayor Cllr Mike Facey joined other dignitaries and representatives from local groups in laying wreaths besides the War Memorial.
The Last Post was played by Highbridge trumpet player Francis Fear, followed by the traditional two minutes silence.
Among the groups laying wreaths were Sedgemoor District Council, Burnham and Highbridge Town Council, Highbridge Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Cubs, St John Ambulance Badgers, plus local Army and Sea Cadets units.
Members of the town’s police force, the Royal British Legion and Highbridge Chamber of Trade also paid their respects.
Mayor Mike Facey told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It was great to see such a good turnout, especially from the young cadets and groups.”
