Thank you so much to everyone that joined The Royal British Legion at the ICC Newport on Saturday 02nd November for the 44th annual Wales Festival of Remembrance, to all the Presenters, Performers, Standard Bearers, Members of the Muster and our wonderful Audience that ensured that we had a packed auditorium.
It was truly a moving, enjoyable and poignant evening as the people of Wales came together to honour our Armed Forces Community and ensure that those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice, you are not forgotten.

Remember
We remember those from Wales who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts; from the beginning of the First World War right up to the present day. We also remember all those who have served and their families.
What is Remembrance?
We unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Wales, the UK and the Commonwealth.
We will remember them.
-
We remember the sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Wales, the UK and the Commonwealth.
-
We pay tribute to the special contribution of families and of the emergency services.
-
We acknowledge innocent civilians who have lost their lives in conflict and acts of terrorism.
