Crowds have gathered across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to remember those who gave their lives during the First and Second World War and other conflicts across the world.

Today was the first time large Remembrance Sunday events could take place since Covid.

And communities turned out in their thousands right across the north-east to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Aberdeen remembrance service

A military parade took place in Aberdeen where wreaths were laid at the war memorial in Schoolhill.

Veterans held standards outside Cowdray Hall while poppy wreaths were placed at the foot of the monument in a poignant service.
