Poignant Remembrance service in Northumberland
War veterans and representatives of the RAF, Royal British Legion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, RAF Boulmer and emergency services came together to help commemorate the sacrifices of members of the Armed Forces and civilians in times of war.
A two-minute silence was held and a bugler from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers played the Last Post.
