A ceremony to mark 100 years of Huntingdon’s Thinking Soldier War Memorial has taken place in Huntingdon.
The special service to mark the centenary of the Grade II Listed memorial on Huntingdon's Market Square was followed by a wreath-laying to mark Armistice Day.
This was attended by the mayor of Huntingdon, Cllr Philip Pearce and other local dignitaries.
The Thinking Soldier Memorial was designed by Kathleen, Lady Scott (1878-1947), the widow of Captain Scott of the Antarctic and was unveiled on Armistice Day in 1923 at 10.30am.
The 1923, the unveiling of the memorial drew an estimated 3,000 attendees who observed a two-minute silence at 11am, followed by the laying of wreaths around the monument.
Huge crowds continued throughout the day as hundreds of people gathered to see the memorial and pay their respects.
Funding over the years, enabled the memorial to be inscribed with the names of Huntingdon's fallen.
Members of The Huntingdon & Peterborough Federation of WIs held a special re-unveiling ceremony on Saturday prior to the Armistice Day service at 11am.
