Residents across Tower Hamlets marked Remembrance Sunday at a series of ceremonies.

The events took place on Sunday, November 10, to honour the service and sacrifice of the armed forces, their families, as well as to remember those who lost their lives due to conflict or terrorism.

Commemorations were held at St John on Bethnal Green church followed by a wreath laying in Bethnal Green Gardens.
