Jersey's Roll of Honour has been unveiled at Charing Cross in St Helier as the island prepares to mark Remembrance.


The names of islanders who lost their lives in conflicts are being displayed on screens in the windows of the Santander Work Café, providing a public tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.


The display forms part of Jersey's programme of Remembrance events taking place across the island.


Last weekend, the annual Field of Remembrance ceremony was held at the Cenotaph, where members of the public placed crosses in memory of those who died in service.


The Poppy Shop has also opened its doors at 36 King Street, St Helier, giving islanders the opportunity to purchase poppies and support the Royal British Legion's appeal.


Chelsea Pensioners are also taking part in this year's activities, selling poppies outside M&S in King Street at various times throughout the week.


They will return to Jersey for the Remembrance Sunday service, where they are also expected to lay regimental wreaths at the Cenotaph.


The events offer islanders an opportunity to remember those who lost their lives in conflict and pay tribute to the armed forces.
