We normally try to find photographs that are lighthearted and fun to look at for our Monday page, so it was with a heavy heart that we delved into our archives this week to search for pictures of the occasion.

Sunderland’s annual Remembrance Day Parade and service is held at the war memorial on Burdon Road and it is thought to be the biggest outside London.

Take a look at our poignant photographs from past parades and services – young and old are pictured.

Do you know the young girls who are pictured at the service?

What about the police officer playing the last post? Do you recognise him?
