Crowds gather in city centre for Remembrance Sunday parade

By Betty Woolerton  Sunday Nov 12, 2023

People lined the streets of Bristol to commemorate the servicemen and women who have fallen in the line of duty since the first world war.

Veterans joined servicing members of the armed forces for the parade through the city centre on Sunday morning which was led by Royal Marines Reserve Bristol, HMS Flying Fox.

Military units, cadet contingents, veterans and politicians assembled on College Green for the march down to the Cenotaph on Colston Avenue.
