REMEMBRANCE Sunday takes place this weekend with services honouring fallen servicemen and women throughout Denbighshire.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day and, 24 hours later, Armistice Day will officially recognise the end of World War Two, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Across the county there will be parades and services of remembrance taking place this Sunday at war memorials and cenotaphs in cities, towns and villages where people have already been preparing with thoughtful, decorative poppy displays.
