AROUND 200 people turned up to the Blaenavon Remembrance Parade and Service today.

The parade was led by the Blaenavon town band and saw members of the public, councillors, servicemen and ex-serviceman lay wreaths at the town's cenotaph.

Lucinda Gough, of Blaenavon, attended the event with her family.

Ms Gough said: "The atmosphere was sombre but community spirited people from Blaenavon lined the streets from the start of the parade right down the way down to the cenotaph.

"More than 20 wreaths were laid from all organisations and community groups in Blaenavon.

"The weather stayed dry for the march down through the town but we had hail, sleet, snow and rain for the last post and service itself.

"The service yesterday followed a fantastic remembrance concert on Saturday night in the Workman’s Hall."
