The ONE-minute silence in Droitwich was described as "a moving occasion" by an attendee.

An event for the one-minute silence was held yesterday evening (Sunday, September 18) at the Droitwich Lido Park.

A picture, captured by Droitwich resident Clive Brown, shows the crowds gathering before the event.

Clive Brown, said: "The event was a mark of love and respect with the people of Droitwich Spa joining with the rest of the country in remembrance of our Queen.

"It was a moving occasion led by the combined churches of the town and it went very smoothly."

Droitwich councillor, Richard Morris, posted a picture on Facebook of the event last night.

He said: "At tonight's vigil in Droitwich Spa. We remember the great service and sacrifice of our great Queen Elizabeth."
