Poppy Road in Aldridge

This year, Remembrance Sunday fell on the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice and a packed calendar of events was planned to mark the occasion.

As well as the traditional remembrance services, lone pipers played in the early hours, beacons were lit and many buildings were decorated.

And many communities, schools and families created their own unique tributes - such as this Poppy Road in Aldridge.
