Kent fell silent today as it marked Remembrance Sunday with services to honour those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
The county paused to remember service personnel who have given their lives in conflicts.
A poignant silence fell over the county for two minutes at 11am during services in towns and villages.
Wreaths were laid at war memorials on what was a clear, but bitingly cold Sunday.
Young and old joined veterans in bowing their heads to commemorate the county's war dead.
Others stopped in their tracks in shops, cafes and at home to honour the fallen.
People lined the streets of Maidstone to see soldiers march to the County Town's war memorial.
Among those to parade through the town were Gurkhas from the Invicta Park Barracks.
Onlookers stood in respectful silence as they made their way to a wreath-laying ceremony.
Reservists from HMS President led the procession at the Great Lines in Gillingham.
Mayor Cllr Jose Iles and Medway Council chief executive Neil Davies laid a wreath during the short ceremony.
A piper played before and after the two-minute at Chatham’s Historic Dockyard.
The tower clock marked the beginning of the period of reflection and the bell on HMS Cavalier marked its end.
And in Ashford, young cadets took part in a parade through the town before a service.
Members of Army, marine and sea cadet groups lined up to march to Memorial Gardens in front of those gathered to pay their respects.
