A MOVING community act of remembrance was held in Denbigh to honour all those who were sent off to war and never returned home to their loved ones.
Prayers were held at St Mary's Church on Sunday, November 8, before a march to the town's war memorial.
A service then took place in front of the library and war memorial, which included the laying of wreaths.
In a statement, Denbigh British Legion said: "Thank you to everyone who attended the Parade and Service in the town today and made it a very moving community act of remembrance for all those who were sent off to war and never returned home to their loved ones.
"Denbigh British Legion would like to express their very grateful thanks to Denbigh Town Council and in particular Joanne Davies, Town Clerk, for their support and assistance in arranging this occasion.
"Thank you also to Reverend Dan Morgan, Norma Rowles and Gareth Williams for officiating at the service and to Denbigh & District Male Voice Choir for their loyal attendance to lead the singing."
Cllr Mark Young, who laid a wreath at Denbigh War Memorial on behalf of Blind Veterans UK, said: "It was an honour and privilege to lay a wreath at Denbigh War Memorial on behalf of Blind Veterans UK, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
“It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout from our community, particularly our young people, who are a real credit to Denbigh.
“A huge thank you to the Royal British Legion, Denbigh Town Council, all the volunteers and Denbigh and District Male Voice Choir for making the occasion so special.
“On a personal note, it was also a poignant occasion as I remembered my father-in-law, Mike, who sadly passed away recently.
“We will remember them."
