Town falls silent in a solemn act of remembrance


THOUSANDS of people turned out on a chillyNovembermorning for the annual Remembrance Sun- day parades through the county town and surrounding areas. Residents stood sometimes four


or five deep as the procession turned the corner of Week Street intoMaidstone’sHigh Street to con- tinuous applause. Serving personnel, veterans,


Gurkhas and their wider families congregated for the solemn cere- mony at The Broadway. In West Malling, young Scout


groupmembersmarched, accompa- nied by ceremonial bandmusic. At the stroke of 11am, the Last


Postwas sounded and a twominute silencewas impeccably observed.
