The UK’s oldest surviving World War Two veteran was among the thousands of people who gathered for Remembrance Sunday services across the East Midlands to mark the sacrifice of fallen soldiers.
People came together for parades and ceremonies at war memorials, reflecting with a two-minute silence at 11:00 GMT.
Donald Rose, aged 109, paid his respects at the Cenotaph, in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Erewash’s deputy mayor Harry Atkinson laid a wreath as hundreds paid their respects in the Market Place.
Mr Rose, a great-grandfather, is a D-Day veteran and served on the front line with the 7th Armoured Division.
