Hundreds of people gathered to pay their respects to servicemen who gave their lives for the country with a Remembrance Day service in Walton.
The parade was coordinated by Frinton and Walton Town Council, while the Walton branch of the Royal British Legion organised the service at the war memorial.
Thanks to over 40 volunteers, the road closures needed to ensure the parade went ahead smoothly, stepped forward in time.
Neil Hayes, chairman of the Walton Royal British Legion, said: “It was wonderful to see the march and service take place once again in Walton.
"My thanks go to Frinton and Walton Town Council for organising the march and to everyone who took part.
"The service was a fitting tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the turnout showed the strength of our community and its enduring respect for the fallen.”

Mayor of Frinton and Walton, Mark Cossens, said: “Remembrance Sunday is one of the most important days in our civic calendar — a time when our community comes together to honour the bravery, courage, and sacrifice of those who served.
"I was incredibly proud to see so many people, young and old, line the streets and take part in such a moving act of remembrance.
"My sincere thanks go to the Royal British Legion, our town council team, and everyone who made the event possible.”
