CROWDS lined the streets in Bude and Stratton this Remembrance Day as the community came together to pay their respects to those who have given their lives to our country.

On November 8, the North Cornwall town was filled with crowds as residents came together to mark 2026’s remembrance.

During the ceremony, a number of groups paraded through the streets, including the RNLI, local veterans, scout and beaver groups and the area’s cadets.

Following the parade along the Strand, the community members laid wreaths at the towns’ respective war memorials.

During the evening, Bude War Memorial was illuminated in tribute, alongside The Castle, which will remain lit throughout the commemorative period.
