SOMBRE residents were united in remembrance as they fell silent to commemorate the sacrifices of those who gave their lives in war.
Thousands of war veterans, ex-servicemen and residents turned out in poppies on Sunday morning, for the borough's two services in Shepherd's Bush and Fulham.
The borough's mayor, councillor Frances Stainton led a procession along the New Kings Road to the Fulham War Memorial, where Reverend Joseph Hawes led the homage.
An open air service was also held at the Shepherd's Bush Green War Memorial, after a parade marched along Sulgrave Road.
Attended by deputy mayor, councillor Belinda Donovan, the memorial was conducted by Reverend Canon David Tann and Rabbi Geoffrey Shisler.
Mrs Stainton, said: "We must never forget the sacrifices of the men and women, who gave their lives for our freedom, in the two world wars and the many other conflicts across the world. We must also remember their families, especially those who have lost loved ones in recent conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan and the wounded servicemen and women who are going through difficult times. The parades and services in Shepherd's Bush and Fulham on Remembrance Sunday, served as a small way of showing that we appreciate our armed forces."
Local scout groups were present at both services to lay the wreaths.
Each year the British Legion's annual poppy appeal helps support all generations of the Armed Forces and their families.
The first official British Legion poppy day was held 90 years ago on November 11, 1921, inspired by the poem Flanders Field by John McCrae.
Later in the day, around 300 scooters, adorned with poppies and flags, flew through Fulham to show their respect.
After laying a wreath in Hyde Park members from the Wasps of London Scooter Club, made their way to regular haunt, the Southern Cross Pub.
When they arrived, they mounted the pavement, creating a sea of colours along the New Kings Road.
Andrew Hilson, of the club, said: "The day was absolutely fantastic, we had a lot more people than expected. We had around 300 scooters turn up in Fulham, which took up the whole pavement. For the last two or three years, we've wanted to finish at the Southern Cross, because that is our regular, but because Chelsea have been playing, we've never been able to park up here. When we found out there would be no domestic football this weekend, we were over the moon. Everyone riding bought poppies and wristbands - we think we may have raised around £2,000. Everyone was just mucking in for the cause. It was a great day."
