Residents of Knighton came out to celebrate the 80th anniversary of peace being announced following World War 2, to show their respects to the country’s war fallen and to reflect. 

Town crier Derrick Price was present as well as veterans and town councillors.

Thomas Heakin said the exhortation, Sean Milward played the Last Post and Reveille on the bugle and the crowd observed a two minute silence.
