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.
