Town Mayor Ian Buckley said Remembrance event is important as ‘it is hard for us to comprehend the sacrifices they made<\/strong>‘ <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

THE Memorial Parade in Penarth will walk through the town centre for the first time in two years on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parade could not go ahead due to coronavirus restrictions in 2020 but in normal years, it often featured community groups from the local RNLI, serving members of the Armed Forces, Air Cadets, as well as scout and guide groups.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parade will be part of Remembrance events held across the country on Thursday, November 11, and Sunday, November 14 to remember the lives of British soldiers who have died in war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath Fisher, who serves on the Penarth Remembrance committee, said the parade was about increasing visibility in the town, getting the community involved, and passing the message of Remembrance on to the next generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Fisher said the parade was about making sure Remembrance \u201cwas a big thing, giving Remembrance visibility in the town and a way of bringing people together\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
