WAR veterans, councillors, community group and faith group members, school representatives and scouts were among the 300 people who marched through Burnham at Sunday's Remembrance Day ceremony.
The procession passed through Burnham High Street to the memorial grounds just outside St. Peter’s Church - where the official laying of the wreath ceremony took place.
Bob Slater, who is president of Burnham Royal British Legion and chairman of Burnham's Royal Air Force Association read out the names of everyone who laid wreaths with help from his grandson Mark
Members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Slough represented their faith in the procession that began at 10.30am from the offices of the Royal British Legion in Burnham. Their president Atiq Ahmad Bhatti laid a wreath on behalf of the community.
This was the fifth year that members from the Community have been given the opportunity to lay a wreath at Remembrance Sunday and succeeded the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Slough’s recent poppy collections on behalf of the Royal British Legion under the banner of Love For All, Hatred For None in which they raised over £5,500 over two weekends.
