People of "all faiths and none" gathered in Highgate to honour those who have died while serving their country.

Highgate School hosted its annual Remembrance Sunday ceremonies in conjunction with St Michael's Church.

The Last Post and Reveille was played by bugler Tamsin Cowell, with a two-minute silence as the community remembered the dead.

This was followed by readings and the laying of wreaths.

Headteacher at the school in North Road, Adam Pettitt, said: “This is a truly ecumenical community event.

"The driving force behind the idea was, and continues to be, the Reverend Kunle Ayodeji and the congregation of St Michael’s, Highgate, but Highgate School is proud to play host once again to a moving occasion in which people of all faiths and none, are equally and universally welcome.”
