Matthew emphasised the importance of remembering those who served: “Today, as part of Gwent’s annual observance, we stood together with colleagues - and the nation - to honour the legacy of those who gave everything.

“Their bravery and dedication remain an inspiration to us all, and we are committed to ensuring their sacrifice is never forgotten.”

The ceremony was one of many that took part across Gwent today, whereby communities came together to reflect and show gratitude.
