Ludlow came together in sincere Remembrance on Sunday as the town honoured all those who served and sacrificed in times of conflict. The Parade stepped off from Ludlow Castle and met the Civic Procession before moving together to the Peace Memorial, where the Act of Remembrance was held.

The Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, the Archdeacon of Ludlow, the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, members of St Laurence’s Church and Town Councillors joined residents for the wreath laying, the Last Post and the Two Minutes’ Silence, shared in quiet reflection across the square.

The morning continued with a moving Remembrance Service at St Laurence’s Church, where prayers, readings and music offered a moment of collective gratitude and contemplation.

This year’s Remembrance carried particular poignancy with the town remembering Danny Mason, a much-loved Second World War veteran who joined Ludlow’s commemorations for many years. His warmth, dignity and steady presence were deeply valued by all who met him, and his absence was felt across the community.

Ludlow Town Council extends its sincere thanks to all who took part, including members of the Parade, veterans, serving personnel, uniformed groups, schools, Ludlow Concert band, organisations, volunteers and the many residents who stood with us. The Council also acknowledges the support of staff and event co-ordinators who helped ensure the smooth running of the event.
