Today is Armistice Day.

At 11am we stop, as a town and as a country, to remember everyone who served and never came home, and those who came home changed.

Ebbw Vale gave its sons and daughters in both world wars and in the conflicts since. Their names are on our war memorial, and we owe it to them to keep saying them.

There's a Service of Remembrance at the Ebbw Vale Cenotaph, down towards the old Civic Centre, at 10:50, and everyone is welcome. If you can't be there, please stop for the two minutes' silence at 11am, wherever you are.

We also remember those serving today, and the families waiting for them to come home.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Cllr Jonathan Millard, Unaligned Independent Councillor - Ebbw Vale South
