People across Powys and its borders stood shoulder-to-shoulder on a mild and dry Remembrance Sunday in tribute to those killed and injured in wars over the years.

They stood in silence in quiet reflection and commemoration for those who have given their lives for their country.

There were also large numbers of residents who turned out to watch the acts of remembrance, possibly swelled this year by the fair weather.

In most of the towns, armed forces personnel paraded to the services.

They were joined by veterans as well as civic dignitaries and volunteers of many local organisations including the police and fire services and lots of youngsters, many part of sports clubs or scouts, cubs and beavers.

In all towns including Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells, Rhayader, Knighton, Presteigne and Kington, wreaths of red poppies were laid at war memorials, the two-minute silence was observed and The Last Post rang out.

Church services were held throughout the region to mark Remembrance Sunday and some services were also held on Monday, November 11 to mark Armistice Day.
