Saint John residents gathered across the city on Tuesday to mark Remembrance Day with solemn services of reflection and gratitude.
The central ceremony at TD Station brought together veterans, families, and community members for the laying of official wreaths and a moment of silence at 11 a.m.
Additional services took place at the Field of Honour in Cedar Hill Extension Cemetery, the Cenotaph at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 69, and the Public Gardens in the North End.
Each location provided the community with an opportunity to pause and remember.
