THE crowds turned out for the fourth annual Stourbridge Military Parade to honour all those who have served the country.
The event, organised by David Spruce, brought hundreds of people to the town this morning (Saturday, November 8) to watch the spectacle.
The parade began at 11am from the top of Stourbridge High Street where crowds were told to gather.
Shirley Pipe Band kickstarted the parade along with Winston Churchill who marched down the High Street while residents waved their flags.

Approximately 50 military vehicles including tanks and trucks took part in the parade.
Retired resident Peter Stanton said: "I think the older generation love to see the parade more than the younger generation.
"I think it's because the older generation have more memory of it, they've had loved ones that have died so it means more to them.
"I hope the young people see the importance of it as well as enjoying the spectacle like us all!"
Another resident Jenny said: "I come here every year! It's a lovely morning watching the parade. I've come with my whole family. I wouldn't miss it!"
The parade proceeded down Market Street and and finished up at Stourbridge’s Bonded Warehouse where the vehicles will be on display.
Vehicles will be on display until 3pm today for visitors to come and look at them.
