People danced to music, visited stalls and took part in various activities.

Similar events were held across the UK including at Westminster Abbey where the Royal Family joined 1,000 military veterans in attending a service of thanksgiving.

More than 580,000 members of the UK and Commonwealth forces lost their lives, with 67,073 British civilians, during six years of conflict.
