A Combined Nations Armistice Day Service took place at the Fort George Military Cemetery.
Dennis Le Moignan, former parish constable, said the service "recognises the importance of reconciliation, which is reflected so well in our military cemetery, where former enemies now lie alongside each other in their final, peaceful resting place".
He said: "The main emphasis of the service is centred on the civilian populations who suffered extensively during the past two world wars."
