The service included the lowering of the Legion standard as a salute to the fallen.
The service was led by Father Lee Taylor from St Collen's Church and the ceremony presided over by Phil Stroud, chairman of the local Legion branch.
The ceremony was watched by a large group of children from a school in Birmingham who were visiting the town.
The annual Service of Remembrance has been organised by the Town Council and will be held this Sunday November 13, starting at 10.45am.
