Wales falls silent on Remembrance Sunday

A National Service of Remembrance for Wales has taken place in Cathays Park.

Detachments from the Royal Navy, the Army, the Royal Air Force and the Merchant Navy marched from King Edward VII Avenue to the Welsh National War Memorial in Alexandra Gardens before a two minute silence was held.

This year the event marks the centenaries of women's service in the regular Armed Forces, the Battle of Passchendaele, the creation of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the 100th birthday of forces' sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn.
