Today’s Remembrance Day parade to Cwmbran Park attracted a large crowd of members of the public.

They lined Wesley Street to watch the march to Cwmbran Park for a service, prayers and laying of wreaths. The Last Post was played followed by a two-minute silence.

The parade was one of five that took place in Torfaen. Last year’s parade didn’t take place to Covid-19 restrictions. It was led by the Reverend Nick Perry.
