Cardigan's volunteer police cadets joined together to take part in the town's Remembrance parade on Sunday.

While crowds and attendees at Cardigan Cenotaph were down on past years, town mayor Cllr Debra Griffiths led the solemn and poignant commemoration.

It also featured contributions from military veterans, army, air and navy cadets and Ysgol Uwchradd school pupils.

Speaking after the ceremony, Cllr Griffiths said: “It was an honour to present the new pennant marking 100 years of the Royal British Legion. 

“The service was very emotional, especially with the children singing and taking part. 

“Everyone I spoke to said it was an amazing and heartfelt ceremony. I got emotional myself when I placed my wreath at the Cenotaph. 

“I would like to thank everyone who took part in the Remembrance Day parade and service and to all who came along to mark this historic day as a community.  God bless you all.” 

There were similar scenes in Newcastle Emlyn where town mayor Cllr Jayne Ludgate laid a wreath at the town cenotaph on behalf of the town.

And in St Dogmaels the long-awaited service of Remembrance was held at the War Memorial after a lapse of two years.

It was led by Reverend Elizabeth Rowe, with a very good turnout of people from the village.

The long list of names of all the young men from the village who gave up their lives in both World Wars was read out by Cllr. Philip Hutchings, Chairman of St Dogmaels Community Council.

Readings and Exhortation were by Barry Foster, Cllr Jo Hutchings and Clerk to the Community Council, Sue Davies.
