The city centre came to a stop for a poignant service and parade at the War Memorial in Burdon Road.
This year’s parade included British Army personnel from the 4th Regiment Royal Artillery and 3rd Battalion The Rifles, who both have the Freedom of the City.
Two field guns from 4th Regiment Royal Artillery were fired in Mowbray Park marking the start of the two-minute silence at 11am.
Wreaths were laid by local civic dignitaries, forces organisations and members of the public.
