A Remembrance Day ceremony in downtown Barrie attracted thousands of spectators.
Young and old lined the streets to watch a parade of veterans, cadets and emergency services members march to the cenotaph at Memorial Square.
Dignitaries included Mayor Jeff Lehman, MPs John Brassard, Alex Nuttall and MPP Ann Hoggarth.
A lone boot, recently brought to Barrie from Vimy Ridge, was placed at the base of the cenotaph.
"It is a privilege to speak to you today in a city and a county with a long and honourable military tradition," said Brigadier-General Gary Thomson.
