Remembrance Sunday services in Kington, Presteigne and Knighton

Towns and villages across Mid Wales gathered on a bright, sunny November morning to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and have served the country.

In Kington, Remembrance Sunday began with a service at St Mary's Church before everyone paraded down to the war memorial.

Parade marshal Brian Mackenzie led the parade, while Steve Reynolds was the standard bearer and he was flanked by Chris Ellis and Ron Still.

Various organisations then laid wreaths at the cenotaph including His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire Penny Corbett, all of the armed forces services, Hereford and Worcester Fire Service, West Mercia Police Force, the Royal British Legion, Herefordshire Council, Kington Town Council, Kington Chamber of Trade, Trefoil Guild, St John's Ambulance, Lady Hawkins High School, Kington Primary School and the family of Oliver Thomas, who was killed during service in Afghanistan.

Reverend Sally Welch gave prayers, and pupils Grace Williams and Maddy Small from Lady Hawkins School and Grave and Ava from Kington Primary School read poems.

The crowd gave a round of applause in memory of Dr Phillip Cleland who read the roll of honour for many years but he passed away during the year. This year the roll of honour was read by Pete Walker.

In Presteigne, a service took place at the cenotaph.

Reverend Andrew Hollinghurst led by the service, Annie Davies was the standard bearer for the women's section of the Royal Britain Legion and Carl Evans was the standard bearer for the men's section of the Royal British Legion.
