A weekend of Remembrance in Cockermouth culminated with a sunny service at the town cenotaph, where hundreds of people gathered to pay their respects.

All ages congregated for the service, where they listened to Cockermouth Mechanics Band and watched wreaths being laid by representatives from many local groups.

Bearing flags were members of the town's Royal Air Force Association (David Russell), British Legion (Connor O'Neil), Army Cadets (Jake Richardson), Guides (Holly Milton) and Scouts (Alastair Woodbury).

There was standing room only in Lorton Street Methodist Church, for the service which was held before everyone proceeded to the cenotaph, lead by the town band.

Rev Sue Edwards lead the church service, in which mayor David Malloy read the lists of names of the fallen that are on the cenotaph.

As he read the 132 names, a DVD focusing on the First World War and commissioned by the town's Rotary was played.

Chairman of the town's British Legion, Stephen Coates, played a part in the church service and also the one at the cenotaph, which was lead by Rev Godfrey Butland.

More than 25 wreaths were ceremoniously laid around the cenotaph by army, navy and air force associations, as well as local groups and representatives.

Leading the way was Deputy Lord Lieutenant Deborah Keighley, she was followed by the town mayor and Allerdale leader Alan Smith.

In the lead up to the centenary, many town shops and cafes marked the occasion, with poppies and artwork in their windows.

The Silver Beaded Needle, on Station Street, staged a stunning display by textile artist Jane Clark of Mosser.

Over the weekend there were films, drama and an exhibition by the town's heritage group in the Kirkgate Centre.

The exhibition was made up of a compilation of extracts from each of the four World War One exhibitions held previously.
