An estimated 2,000 people gathered in Dereham town centre on Remembrance Sunday to pay their respects to the fallen. 

The Market Place was packed on Sunday morning as residents remembered those who have died in the line of duty.

Dennis O'Callaghan, president of the RBL's Dereham branch, said: "There were more people on this Remembrance Sunday than ever before - close to 2,000. 

"I think there was a lot more meaning this year because we had the Ukrainian contingent with us. It was an incredible occasion."
