"It is so important that we come together to remember and give thanks to all serving troops, both past and present and of course their families.
"Southampton’s Service and Parade is always incredibly special, and I personally take the time to reflect on our city’s resilience.”
Alongside that, Archie Parsons from Southampton Royal British Legion said: "On Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, we reflect and give thanks to all those that played their part in bringing peace and those who helped to re-build our great city to what it is today. I hope the people of Southampton will join us as we remember them."
