Councillor Wyndham Griffiths, one of Neath Port Talbot Council’s Armed Forces Champions said: “The annual Remembrance parades and services we hold here in Neath Port Talbot commemorate those who have fallen in the First World War and in subsequent conflicts.

“We all owe a great debt to members of our armed forces who lost their lives while serving our country, so that we can live ours in freedom.”

Fellow Armed Forces Champion, Cllr Tim Bowen, added: “We pay tribute at this time of year to all those who have volunteered, served and fought and especially those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. We will carry on respecting, honouring and remembering them.”
