A string of Remembrance Day events are due to take place in Shropshire and Mid Wales on Sunday.
A service is being held at St Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury from 9.45am.

The Mayor of Shrewsbury, Councillor Alan Townsend, and other civic dignitaries will be involved along with units of HM Forces and service organisations to music from the Band of the Air Training Corps.
There will be a wreath-laying ceremony at the war memorial in The Quarry at 11am.
In Powys, the Knighton branch of the Royal British Legion will muster in the car park behind the Knighton Hotel at 10.25am and start off at 10.50am, before stopping at the cenotaph for a short service and wreath laying ceremony.
It will then proceed to St Edward’s Church for a remembrance service.
An additional name will be honoured when Oswestry remembers its fallen heroes.
Trooper John Henry Wood’s name was omitted from the town’s war memorial, on the gates of Cae Glas Park.
The 32-year-old soldier died in the Second World War while serving in Tunisia and his remains are in the Sfax war cemetery, but now he is to be honoured in Oswestry after his daughter, Mrs Patricia Favier, wrote to the Oswestry Royal Britain Legion asking for help in having her father’s name placed on the role of honour.
Oswestry’s parade will march from the Bailey Head through the town before the 11am two-minute silence. There will then be a service in St Oswald’s Church.
