Local councillor Kirstie Hurst-Knight who is also the council's Armed Forces Champion, said: "The weather was kinder but I think it was a bigger turn out than last year.
"I was exceptionally proud as Armed Forces Champion for Shropshire Council to see so many serving and former members of the Armed Forces on parade.
"When we were stood at the war memorial and looked out over the crowd it was very moving with so many children and young people from so many clubs in attendance.
"As always this town put on a fitting tribute to Remembering the fallen that paid the ultimate price. Thanks to Bridgnorth Town Council who organise this event with the Royal British Legion."
