Residents came together in Ripley to commemorate the fallen on Remembrance Day.

The Remembrance Parade started in the Co-op Car Park on Derby Road and made its way to All Saints' Church on Church Street for a service in the Churchyard, led by Rev John Wigram.

The service incorporated the two-minute silence and wreath laying at the memorial.

Photographer Eric Gregory was on hand to capture the service.
