On Remembrance Sunday people across the region will be paying their respects to the men and women who gave their lives serving their country during two world wars and more recent conflicts.
As well as the national service taking place at the cenotaph in London, smaller services were held at churches and war memorials across the country.
The Northern Echo has opened its own on-line book of remembrance. You can leave your tribute via the form below.
