Poignant and moving events have taken place in Tenby over the weekend in remembrance of men and women who lost their lives serving in the two world wars or other conflicts.
On Saturday (November 9) another well attended Poppy Trail took place at St Mary's Church, as a chance for youth organisations to join each other in remembering all those who fought in all wars.
A short service was conducted by the Rev Steve Brett where he talked to the young people about what the Poppy resembles.
Erin Morgan Tenby’s Town Crier and Guide leader read a poem with great sensitivity.
This was followed by a procession to the gardens of tranquility for the blessing and placement of the pebbles and minute silence.
Cllr Sam Skyrme-Blackhall who organised the event remarked: “It was an honour and a privilege to see so many young people attend this morning. This is now an annual event.
“I think it is important that the youth have their own opportunity to pay their own respects and remember.
“Thank you to Tenby Sea Cadets, Brownies, Guides and army cadets for all your support, and a huge thank you to Shane Roberts and team of the Tenby branch of the Royal British Legion and their new wonderful Poppy mascot!”
For Remembrance Sunday, the seaside town’s residents, organisations, councillors and dignitaries came together once again to mark the occasion.
A Service of Remembrance in St Mary’s Church, took place prior to the Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial.
The parade assembled outside St Mary’s Church to depart for the War Memorial along the historic town walls.
The Mayor of Tenby, Cllr Dai Morgan was joined by representatives of various organisations to lay wreaths at the cenotaph on South Parade.
