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 across the borough, with wreaths laid.

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.

Last year, Remembrance services were cancelled due to Wales being under lockdown restrictions.

Today I laid a wreath at the cenotaph in #Risca to honour all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in freedom. Across #Islwyn communities have been gathering to show their gratitude. We shall remember them. #RemembranceSunday #LestWeForget pic.twitter.com/88Ix9a19vV
