In St Neots, groups representing the armed services, Royal British Legion and a host of other community organisations began their parade from the Waitrose car park.
The parade route was through the town centre to St Mary's Church where prayers were said and wreaths laid at the war memorial.
The traditional two-minute silence was held at 11am and the names of those killed in wars and conflicts were read out.

The parish church was packed for the service which followed.
Chairman of the St Neots branch of the RBL Ken Minney said: "It was a brilliant occasion. There were a lot more people around the war memorial than we've had before and the church was completely full.
"Because of what is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, people are taking more notice of the role of our service people doing their duty around the world."

Vice-president Peter Plant said: "It was a very moving event and it was great to see such a large turnout. I noticed several serving members of the armed forces in full uniform taking part in our service of Remembrance. The whole morning was so well organised - it was just a magnificent occasion."

Remembrance Sunday was a memorable experience for a group of army cadets who paraded in St Ives.
The 28 cadets who took part in the town's annual commemoration parade were privileged to have their right to the freedom of the town renewed.

On November 29, 1998, the then Mayor, Cllr John Davies, conferred the high honour on the cadets in recognition of their close connections with St Ives and the local community - and this year, exactly ten years after the honour was originally granted - more than 50 friends, families and supporters of the cadets met at the cadet building next to St Ives leisure centre to relive the occasion.

With standards flying, heads held high and marching keenly in step the proud youngsters clearly demonstrated their worthiness to retain the award.
They stood rigidly to attention while they were inspected by the present Mayor, Cllr Ian Dobson, in the presence of parents and senior cadet officers including County Commandant Colonel Roger Herriot.

On renewing the award Cllr Dobson said, "It is a pleasure to confirm the award of the town freedom to the cadets. The Army Cadet Force plays a key part in community life and it is a connection that the town council wishes to encourage and support for many years to come" - and as a special bonus Cllr John Davies - who is now chairman of Huntingdonshire District Council - was also there to witness the event.

>> Services and parades were also held in Huntingdon and Godmanchester.
