Yorkshire came out in force to remember its fallen this Remembrance Sunday.

Our photographers visited Remembrance Day services in Leeds, York and Scarborough and we have rounded up some of their most poignant images as the county remembers those who have served in the Armed Forces.

From young children to those in their 90s, people lined the streets and gathered around cenotaphs across Yorkshire to pay their respects.
