Honouring the forces in Kingswood
Those who risk their lives for their country were also joined by veterans, former members of the Gurkha regiment, military vehicles and even a motorbike- riding branch of the Royal British Legion for the march to Kingswood Park.
The event replaces Veterans Day, and the Kingswood parade on Saturday was one of many held nationwide to honour the contribution of the armed forces.
A similar parade was held in Staple Hill yesterday.
South Gloucestershire Council chairwoman Shirley Holloway presented Veterans Badges to former servicemen and women.
She said: "We were delighted to show our support for the services."
A sunny afternoon brought out families, and they wandered around stalls run by the Territorial Army and organisations such as the War Widows Association, Bristol Normandy Veterans and air cadets.
