CRAVEN fell silent for two minutes yesterday as thousands paid their respects at Remembrance Sunday services in towns, villages, and hamlets across the district.
In Skipton, High Street was packed with people brought into the town for the deeply moving parade, laying of wreaths, and the service in Holy Trinity Church.
A giant screen at the top of High Street meant everyone was able to get a clear view of the service centred around the War Memorial and each wreath as it was laid by dignitaries, schools and organisations and individuals.
Holy Trinity Church, draped in thousands of handmade poppies, was the perfect tribute to all those who gave their lives in wars and conflicts over the years, and as described by Rector, Rev Doug Rice-Bowen was a demonstration of Skipton 'at its best'.
Here is a selection of photographs from Remembrance services.
