Members of the three branches of the Armed Forces marched down the Royal Mile before a short service took place outside the city chambers, led by Rev Calum MacLeod.

After the one o'clock gun was fired from Edinburgh Castle at 11am, a two-minute silence was observed.

Commemorations took place across Scotland on Sunday morning, including at Glasgow's Garden of Remembrance at George Square.
