Organisers of Ryedale's Remembrance Day commemorations said public support had been excellent, despite problems caused by the flooding.

The region saw a full weekend of events staged to commemorate those who died in both world wars and other conflicts.

And for the first time this year, a bugler sounded Last Post and Reveille in Malton Market Place on Saturday, a tribute Royal British Legion spokesman Geoff Buxton said was "superbly observed."

The Malton service on Remembrance Sunday was followed with a parade by veterans and Legion members, through town and on to the war memorial, where wreaths were laid.

Mr Buxton said: "There has been some disruption from the flooding, but generally the turnout has been excellent.

"We are glad to see that, despite what has been going on, people are still finding the time to remember. In the parade we had veterans, air and army cadets and Scouts; it was a good turnout in spite of the rain."

Easingwold's traditional parade went ahead as usual, despite fears last month that it might be called off.

City of York Scout Band stepped in to lead the parade through the town after the York Railway Institute Golden Rail Band was forced to drop out through the ill-health of some of its members.

The parade marched from the cenotaph in the market place, through Long Street to St John the Baptist Church.

Following a service, the parade marched back along Church Hill to the cenotaph for the Last Post/Reveille and a wreath-laying ceremony.

Geoff Richardson, chairman of the town's Royal British Legion branch, said the Scout band was "brilliant" and he has booked them for next year's Remembrance Sunday parade in Easingwold.

At Pocklington, the Salvation Army band from York led the traditional parade from Burnby Gardens through the town. Local dignitaries, cadets, Scouts and Guides joined the march to Pocklington's two cenotaphs where wreaths were laid. It was then on to Pocklington Methodist Church for a Service of Remembrance.

Remembrance Sunday parades and services also took place at Fulford, Elvington, Stamford Bridge, Harrogate, Thirsk and Ripon.
