CROWDS turned out to remember the fallen in Stockbridge on Sunday.
A service was held at St Peter's Church where children from the town's primary and secondary schools read poems and prayers.
The names of all those who lost their lives during the First World War were also read out as yesterday marked 100 years since the Armistice.
People then gathered around the war memorial, with its temporary cross, where the names of the Second World War dead from the town were relaid.
Immediate past mayor of Test Valley, Councillor Carl-Borg Neal, said the commemorations were well attended as he presented two wreaths.
He added: "It was really well attended, there was standing room only in the church. At the cenotaph there was an amazing turn out, the streets were packed."
In the evening a beacon was lit on Stockbridge Downs to mark 100 years since the end of the Great War.
Before the lighting of the beacon, one of some 1,300 across the country, a piper played the Last Post and then the Reveille.
The beacon was lit by the Scouts and the brother of a soldier named on the town's war memorial.
Stockbridge's beacon was organised by the National Trust.
