A TOWN mayor spoke of his pride after a huge number of residents turned out to honour the fallen on Remembrance Sunday.

Wrexham’s Annual Service of Remembrance took place at the Royal Welch Fusilier Memorial at Bodhyfryd.

Cllr Rob Walsh, mayor of Wrexham, said: "Both the parade and the ceremony went very well. It was a beautiful day with a blue sky and it wasn't as cold as I'd expected.

"There was a big turnout. I was delighted that the people of Wrexham came out to remember those who lost their lives in previous conflicts.

"I'm very proud of how everything went."

In Gwersyllt, a parade will preceded the annual Service of Remembrance.

Community leaders and local groups, including the Army Cadet Force and Scouts and Guides, marched to the War Memorial at the junction of Old Mold Road and Wheatsheaf Lane.

Armistice Day will be remembered in Wrexham today (Monday, November 11) on Queen’s Square and the air raid siren will be sounded for this event at 11am.

Hundreds of people packed the centre of Llangollen on Sunday morning to watch and take part in the town's annual service of Remembrance around the two war memorials in Centenary Square.

The service was led by the Vicar, Father Lee Taylor, and other local clergy and included the traditional two minutes' silence and the sounding of the Last Post and Reveille by a bugler from Llangollen Silver Band.

Wreaths were laid on the memorials on behalf of a number of local organisations and clubs including the Town Council and the Royal British Legion, who jointly organised the event, as the names of the fallen of two world wars were read out.

The service was followed by a parade through the streets of the town led by the silver band.
