WAR veterans from across Worcester gathered at the Cathedral's cenotaph to mark the 58th anniversary of D-Day.
Crowds stood in silence as the Mayor of Worcester, Coun Robert Rowden, laid a wreath on Thursday to commemorate servicemen who died during Operation Overlord.
The Union flag, American stars and stripes and other allied flags were flown at half mast.
As the Last Post sounded across the Faithful City at 11am, veterans remembered their fallen comrades who died in the three months of fierce fighting in Normandy.
"As we were laying the wreath, a number of people happened to be getting out of a coach. Many of them stopped to watch the ceremony, which was a nice touch," said John Hewlett, chairman of the Royal British Legion's Worcester City branch.
"The British Legion always likes to remember this day - it's important to remember all those who died in this and other conflicts."
