The town came together on Sunday to honour those who served and sacrificed in times of conflict. The parade commenced from Ludlow Castle and joined the civic procession en route to the Peace Memorial for the Act of Remembrance.
The Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, the Archdeacon of Ludlow, the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, members of St Laurence’s Church, and Town Councillors participated in the wreath-laying, observed the Last Post, and held a Two Minutes’ Silence in quiet reflection.
The morning's commemorations continued with a moving Remembrance Service at St Laurence’s Church, featuring prayers, readings, and music.
This year's Remembrance held particular poignancy as the town remembered Danny Mason, a much-loved Second World War veteran who had participated in Ludlow’s commemorations for many years. His absence was felt across the community.
Ludlow Town Council extended its sincere thanks to all participants, including members of the Parade, veterans, serving personnel, uniformed groups, schools, Ludlow Concert Band, organisations, volunteers, and residents. Support from staff and event co-ordinators was also acknowledged for ensuring the smooth running of the event.
