Remembrance Day has been marked in a very different way this year with most of the region's events cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Durham Cathedral and Ripon Cathedral streamed services online with social distancing adhered to.

Newcastle City Council also filmed a wreath laying ceremony on Friday to broadcast on Sunday.

People still gathered at war memorials like Seaham in County Durham to pay their respects to the fallen.
