The morning began with a service held at Trinity Church in the centre of Llandudno, where local community groups, veterans, and residents gathered to honour the fallen. Following the service, participants formed up for the parade, which made its way from the church to the cenotaph. Here, wreaths were laid in a moment of solemn reflection, accompanied by the playing of the Last Post and a two-minute silence.

From the cenotaph, the parade continued past the Town Hall and on to the Royal British Legion on Vaughan Street.

Nineteen of Llandudno’s operational lifeboat crew members took part in the event, proudly representing the RNLI and showing their support for the armed forces and all those affected by war.

Llandudno Lifeboat Coxswain Graham Heritage said, 'It’s always a privilege for our crew to take part in Llandudno’s Remembrance commemorations. The day gives us all a chance to pause and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who served, while showing our support for the wider community we’re proud to be part of.'
