Pembrokeshire sailors who fought and died in the largest naval battle of the First World War - the Battle of Jutland in 1916 - were remembered on the 100th anniversary at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre.

At a special service, conducted by retired naval padre the Rev. Mike Brotherton, a roll call was read of Pembrokeshire men who took part in the two-day battle. Of over 50 local sailors, nearly 30 of them made the supreme sacrifice.

Reading the roll call was naval historian Ted Goddard whose Jutland researches have resulted in several exhibition panels going in display at the heritage centre.

The Mayor of Pembroke Dock, Clr. Maureen Colgan, was joined by naval veterans Norman Clegg, Duncan Heys and Gerry Price, and Commander Tony Mason read the Naval Prayer. The Standard of Cardigan branch, Royal Naval Association, was paraded by Phil Gay, supported by Tommy Massey.

Relatives of navy personnel who served at Jutland were among those attending, including Mrs. Elizabeth Talboys, of Saundersfoot, whose great uncle, William Cecil Parker, was lost when HMS Defence was sunk with all hands. The armoured cruiser HMS Defence and its sister ship HMS Warrior - both built at Pembroke Royal Dockyard - were among the 14 Royal Navy vessels sunk during the battle.

Ten warships launched from Pembroke Dockyard between 1904 and 1914 were awarded battle honours for Jutland. One, the light cruisers, HMS Nottingham, survived Jutland, but was torpedoed and sunk three months later, with the loss of 38 lives.
