Remembrance Day services have been taking place around Orkney today at war memorials throughout the county.

The largest parade took place between the Kirkwall Branch of the Royal British Legion and St Magnus Cathedral.

A large crowd lined the route of the parade and listened to the service on the Kirk Green which was led by the local Salvation Army.

Numerous wreaths were laid at the Kirkwall and St Ola War Memorial and a silence observed, before those in attendance moved inside the cathedral for the Remembrance service.

The parade, led by Kirkwall City Pipe Band, then returned to the Legion following the service.
