Joyce lays wreath at Cardigan Remembrance Service

JOYCE WATSON MS, Mid and West Wales, laid a memorial wreath at Cardigan’s Remembrance Service on Sunday 10 November.

Mrs Watson joined local dignitaries to walk from the Guildhall to the Cenotaph before laying her wreath.

Mrs Watson said: “It was a very moving ceremony in a beautiful setting, with much to reflect on.

“My late parents and I lived in Cardigan. My father was a Prisoner of War in WWII, and I am laying a wreath in his memory and of all those who served and those who lost their lives.

“I believe it is important that we remember all those members of the British Armed Forces who have given their lives in the service of their country to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.  From the First and Second World Wars to the present day, men and women of Wales have made the ultimate sacrifice. 

“We can also be immensely proud of all those who have served and returned home to Wales, but often living with the physical and emotional scars of wars and conflicts for the remainder of their lives.”
