Not least at RAF Halton, where silent soldier statues, wreaths and crosses were laid around the striking plane which is at the entrance to the base.

In lieu of a ceremony, at night the plane and dedications were specially lit up, in a poignant display.

This year marks 75 years since the end of the Second World War, and many large scale commemorations had been planned.

In Wendover a group of crafters made poppies which were placed around the war memorial, in readiness for the town ‘non-parade’ which took place on Sunday.
