Groups across Welshpool fell silent last month to reflect on the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Organised by Marie Curie, a National Day of Reflection was held on March 23.

The day was a chance to connect with and support the millions of people still grieving and remembering the family, friends and colleagues who lost their lives through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Welshpool acknowledged this day with a minute’s silence observed outside the Town Hall.

The silence was led by Representatives of Marie Curie with Reverend Adam Pawley, Vicar of St Mary’s Church.

St Mary’s also held a special service of Remembrance and Reflection at 7:00 pm that evening.

The service featured a wall of reflection, created by Welshpool Guides and Brownies, on display for attendees to admire and add to, as well as a visit from Berriew church choir.
