The High School of Dundee has held its traditional Armistice Day parade and remembrance service.
We have 11 photographs of the November 11 proceedings, when the school’s Combined Cadet Force and pipe band paraded, led by CCF Contingent Commander Major Graham Rodger.
As pupils, parents, staff and members of the public looked on, a wreath was placed on the war memorial by heads of school, Ollie Hall and Jan van der Kuyl, with the help of junior years pupils Daniel Stewart and Catherine Lauchlan.
Flowers o’ the Forest was played by pupil pipe major Alastair Leonard, before a two-minute silence.
Proceedings were also streamed live on social media.
Rector Lise Hudson said: “Our annual remembrance parade is always a very moving occasion, allowing us to pause, remember and pay tribute to those who have lost their lives in all conflicts.”
The school pillars will remain lit red in the evenings until Sunday.
