Sheffield’s Lord Mayor Jayne Dunn said she had spent the morning talking to veterans and cadets at the event.

She said: “It’s a privilege and an honour to be able to pay tribute to those who gave their lives and who served.”

Coun Anne Fox, Sheffield Council’s veterans champion, said there was a fantastic turn out with cadets and reservists. She said we should never forget what the armed forces had done for us and that we were forever in their debt.
