THE PEOPLE of Thurrock came together to pay their respects to those who sacrificed so much in two world wars and other conflicts.
From Aveley to Stanford-le-Hope, ceremonies took place, giving residents the opportunity to say thank you.
Please look at our gallery of over thirty photographs that we feel conveyed the emotion of the day more than words ever could.
