More than 50 people and 100 primary school children turned out at 11am to mark the 90th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War.

Sixteen-year-old James Higham, of West Leeds Scouts, played the Last Post and the morning call Reveille, which were followed by a one-minute silence.

He said: "It's important that we don't forget people who have died in wars. We should never forget what happened.

"Flugel playing runs in the family – my granddad did it and it's something that means a lot to me."

Poppy wreaths were laid and tributes were made at the memorial, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month – the date when the Armistice was signed in 1918.

Frank Robertson, 84, President of the Pudsey and Farsley branch of the Royal British Legion, said: "We will remember the fallen. Lest we forget."
