The day began with a service at St Mary’s Church, after which a parade marched to the town war memorial at Plumptre Way where the Act of Remembrance and two-minutes silence were held and a bugler played The Last Post and Reveille.
Wreaths were laid by civic dignitaries and representatives of the armed and uniformed services and community groups and organisations.
Among those laying wreaths were Judy Naake, Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, Nottinghamshire county councillor James Walker-Gurley, Broxtowe Council leader Milan Radulovic and Mayor of Eastwood Neil Levett, as well as representative of town MP Juliet Campbell.
Representatives of Eastwood Male Voice Choir, Eastwood Football Club Eastwood Football Club Juniors, the Dog & Parrot, Eastwood Volunteer Bureau, Eastwood Memory Cafe, Eastwood Primary Care Centre and Greenhaven Peoples’ Patch were also among those laying wreaths.
The final element of the day saw the parade march to Cadets Cross at Edward Road where further wreaths were laid at the war memorial there.
