Also attending the service were island residents who are veterans themselves or are representatives of organisations which work with veterans and service people.
The Deputy Chief Minister said: ‘It was true honour to represent the island at the service, which was poignant, and stirring, and gave us all an opportunity to reflect on the great sacrifice made by our parents’ and grandparents’ generations.
‘I was especially pleased to see that community representatives from the island had also been invited, to what was a truly memorable occasion.’
