Crowds turn out for town's annual Service of Remembrance


* Poppies shower down on the service in Centenary Square.

A large crowd watched and took part in Llangollen's annual Service of Remembrance in Centenary Square earlier this morning (Sunday).

Led by Father Lee Taylor of St Collen's, the service included the traditional sounding of the Last Post by a bugler from Llangollen Silver Band, the two-minute silence and the laying of wreaths on the square's two war memorials which commemorate local people who died in both world wars and other conflicts.  

The ceremony ended with the traditional parade of service and youth organisations, led by their standards, along Castle Street and around the town centre.
