Although Wales’ firebreak lockdown doesn’t end until Monday (November 9), Tenby’s annual Remembrance Day Service at the town’s War Memorial will still take place this year at 11 am on Sunday.

Sadly, due to Covid-19 restrictions, there can be no parade this year and it will be a very much scaled down service and wreath laying ceremony involving just the Mayoral party, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed, councillors and representatives of the Royal British Legion.

“While we realise that many people may want to join with us at the War Memorial to mark the service and sacrifice of those who have perished as a result of conflict, large gatherings are not permitted under Covid-19 restrictions,” said the town clerk Andrew Davies.

“We understand that this is deeply disappointing but the restrictions have been applied to help protect the health and well-being of the public in these unprecedented times.

“Members of the public are therefore being encouraged to follow the Royal British Legion’s national guidelines and mark the occasion by pausing for the two minutes silence in their homes, on their doorsteps or in their gardens.

“The gates of the War Memorial will remain open following the service for local organisations to lay their wreaths at their own convenience either on the Sunday or the next few days after,” he added.

In Saundersfoot, to comply with the Welsh Government firebreak regulations, the Community Council will be holding a small, private Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph on Sunday at 11 am for invited wreath bearers only.

The Council respectively request any persons wishing to pay their respects please do so after 11.30 am.
