Schoolchildren from St Joseph’s Catholic Academy were among the crowd who watched a special flag-raising ceremony at Harborough District Council's Symington Building.
They were joined by members of Market Harborough Royal British Legion, the town’s Naval Association and representatives from Harborough District Council.
This evening a special church service will be held at St Dionysius Church in Market Harborough and beacons will be lit in Lubenham and Lutterworth.
