At Hirwaun War Memorial for the Service
November 14, 2007
After the Service of Remembrance at St Lleurwg’s Church, the Parade mustered for the brief march to Hirwaun War Memorial for the final Service.

At the War Memorial wreaths were laid by representatives from Hirwaun Royal British Legion and those representing other organisations.
A lone bugler from the band played the Last Post.
Silence fell on Hirwaun as a traditional two minute silence was observed.
The bugler concluded by rousing everyone with the Reveille.
Perhaps the most important part of the Ceremony is the Exortation :
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.”
And all present respond : “We will remember them.”
