SPECIAL tributes were paid to those who fell in the Second World War as town officials and Royal British Legion members laid wreaths at Marlow's war memorial.
The tributes were laid to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the war at All Saints Parish Church, in The Causeway, on Sunday.
Around 50 people gathered at the memorial outside the church at midday, where Marlow mayor Cllr Roger Wilson laid a wreath on behalf of the town council alongside legion members who laid there own wreaths.
A trumpeter played out The Last Post while those gathered, including a dozen war veterans, paused to reflect for two minutes in silence.
A half-an-hour service followed the tributes at 12.30pm, where the county president for the RBL, Kenneth Ross, said a prayer for peace in remembrance of those who died.
Brian Simmons, branch secretary for the Marlow RBL, said: "I think it is a time to show that we still think about it the war and show that it still matters."
Among those who laid wreaths were the ladies section of the Royal British Legion.
The national anthem was sung before some returned to the Legion building for refreshments and reflection.
