IN PICTURES: Boston marks Remembrance Sunday 2026

The service and sacrifice of those that defend the nation’s freedoms have, once again, been honoured in Boston.

Members of the public, representatives of the Armed Forces, civic figures and community groups gathered in the town centre on Sunday (November 8) to mark this year’s Remembrance Sunday.

The event is held on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day – November 11, the anniversary of the end of the First World War.

It honours, as the Royal British Legion puts it, ‘the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the role played by the emergency services, and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism’.

These photographs were shared with the Standard by Kevin Hoyles.

RAF Coningsby has also taken part in Remembrance events this week.
