People across Powys remembered the men and women who lost their lives serving in the two world wars or other conflicts at Remembrance parades in the county.

On Sunday, November 10, several towns and villages across Powys held their own Remembrance Day parades and services, with hundreds of people turning out to pay their respects over the course of the morning.

Many services were held by local councils working alongside the Royal British Legion and featured a parade and service as well as the traditional laying of wreaths at a memorial.

A short service will be held at the summit of Town Hill in Montgomery at 4pm on Monday (November 11), where the Montgomeryshire County War Memorial stands.
