Ely city centre came to a standstill today as crowds gathered to remember the fallen during a moving Armistice Day Ceremony.
The Market Square was full of people wishing to pay their respects during a service led by the Reverend David Newton and Dave Martin of the Ely Branch of the Royal British Legion.
Bugle player Laurine Green played The Last Post before a two minute silence was observed at 11am. 
Mayor Ian Lindsay was among those laying wreaths at Ely’s war memorial on the High Street.
The two minute silence, held throughout the country each year at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, marks the end of the First World War.
