Hundreds of people gathered at events across the Black Country to pay their respects to the heroes of the armed forces at Remembrance Sunday parades and services.
In Dudley, Dudley Council organised an event at the war memorial in Ednam Road. The Mayor led the morning which included a parade from Top Church to the war memorial, followed by a service.
Civic dignitaries and community leaders lay wreathes at the cenotaph to honour the people killed on conflicts throughout history. Councillor Sue Greenaway, Mayor of Dudley, said: "It was very moving to see so many people gathered in Dudley on this important occasion. While laying my wreath I was very moved to think of the sacrifices people have made over the years. I am very grateful to everyone who joined me today."
Similar events took place across the Black Country, including Brierley Hill, Stourbridge and Halesowen.
