Residents across Caerphilly County Borough paid their respects on Remembrance Sunday to those who have died in conflict.

Services were held at cenotaphs and memorials in towns and villages with wreaths laid and prayers made.

In Caerphilly town, the annual parade took place through the town centre and down to the Cenotaph at the Twyn.

Local politicians, dignitaries and representatives from the Royal British Legion and other groups laid wreaths. The Last Post was played, followed by two minutes’ silence.

  1. Encouraging to see a very well attended remembrance ceremony at Caerffili. The only glitch was the most important line of the Lord’s Prayer was left out in the order of service.

    “Forgive us our trespasses”

    I do hope that this was a genuine proof reading error rather than some modern idea that we should not admit that we are all imperfect. According to Christian teaching, are all sinners and whilst forgiving those who trespass against us we should first ask forgiveness for our own shortcomings.
