Remembrance was marked at Royal Star & Garter, a care home for veterans and their partners living with disability or dementia.   

Remembrance Services were held at the charity's Surbiton Home on Friday 10 November, while a small number of veterans attended the National Service at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday 12 November. 

Veterans and staff members from the Surbiton and High Wycombe Homes attended the Cenotaph service on Remembrance Sunday, along with Governors and Directors from the charity. 

In Surbiton, guests included Cllr Diane White, the Mayor of Kingston, Royal Air Force Cadets from 1034 (Surbiton & Esher Squadron), and bugler Vic Gilder, an Irish Guards veteran. 

Kingston Mayor Cllr White said: "It was a privilege to be among such lovely company at this important time." 

The charity's Partnerships Manager, Halani Foulsham, laid a Royal Star & Garter wreath at a service in Kingston on Sunday. 

Also attending was Stephen Vause, an Army veteran who suffered severe injuries in Iraq, and is cared for at the Surbiton care home. 

On Sunday afternoon, singing duo The D-Day Dollies performed a string of wartime favourites from the 1940s for residents at the Home. 

Among the residents attending the Cenotaph service in London was Bob Sewell, who served in the Army's Catering Corps from 1954-60. 

He said: "I've watched the Cenotaph service on TV for many years, so it was wonderful to experience it first-hand, with other veterans from Royal Star & Garter and elsewhere. I'll never forget it." 

During the build-up to Remembrance, events and activities took place in Royal Star & Garter's Homes.  

This year Royal Star & Garter's Remembrance campaign highlighted the benefits its care has on relationships between residents and their relatives.
