Ceremonies honour sacrifice made by Manx armed forces members
Remembrance Sunday services held across the Isle of Man
Hundreds of people turned out to pay their respects
Remembrance Sunday services were held across the Isle of Man on Sunday 13th November to honour the sacrifice made by Manx armed forces members.
The main service was held at the National War Memorial in Douglas, where hundreds of people gathered to hear prayers, hymns and speeches.
The service was led by the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the Right Reverend Peter Eagles, and included a wreath-laying ceremony.
Wreaths laid at war memorials across the island
Other services were held at war memorials in towns and villages across the island, including Peel, Ramsey, Castletown and Port Erin.
Wreaths were laid at each memorial by representatives of the armed forces, the emergency services and local authorities.
Minutes' silence observed across the island
A two-minute silence was observed at 11am at all of the services.
The silence was broken by the sound of bugles playing The Last Post.
The services were a fitting tribute to the men and women of the Manx armed forces who have given their lives in service to their country.
Rememberance Sunday: Lest we forget
Remembrance Sunday is a day to remember the sacrifice made by all those who have served in the armed forces.
It is a day to reflect on the horrors of war and to pledge to work for peace.
We must never forget the sacrifices made by those who have fought for our freedom.
