Rhyl town council clerk Helen Mead said: “Rhyl Town Council was honoured to work with St Thomas’ Church to organise the Remembrance Sunday service at the church and gardens.

“During this important time of reflection, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and keep in our thoughts serving personnel who continue the quest for peace.

“The courage, selflessness, and commitment of so many is not forgotten.

“We also think of the families and friends of those no longer here and hope today’s services afforded them peace and strength.”

Veterans also gathered at the Victory Club, on Queen Street, after the Rhyl service, including members of the Queen's Dragoon Guards.

A similar service took place at the Garden of Remembrance in Meliden, which was attended by councillors, veterans, and members of the Royal British Legion.

Cllr Stephen Eldred, who represents the Meliden Ward on Prestatyn Town Council, said: "The service of remembrance was led by the Revd David Ash of St Melyd, at the Meliden Garden of Remembrance (Meliden Memorial Gardens), which was very well-attended and represented by various services and members of the public.

"Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day (November 11) are a timeless reminder to those who have given their lives in two World Wars and conflicts past and present.

"We honour their courage and sacrifice, to protect the freedoms we have today. We will remember them."

In Prestatyn, a parade made its way at 10.30am from Ty Nant Car Park to Christ Church, on High Street.
