Gateshead’s Saltwell Park is once again hosting the North of England’s only Field of Remembrance in honour of the Service men and women who have fought and died for their country.

The formally opening of the Field of Remembrance was marked with a special dedication service.

Premier’s Northern Correspondent Ian Britton joined members of the public as each took a moment to remember a life lost in service to our country.

There will be other Fields of Remembrance planted at Royal Wootton Bassett, Westminster, Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh, each one a testament to the respect and gratitude felt by so many.

The Field of Remembrance will be open to the public from dawn until dusk each day from Saturday October 29 until Monday 14 November.
