Tributes were paid to Ross-on-Wye’s fallen heroes Sunday, November 11.

Remembrance week events were put together by a partnership which included Ross Town Council, Ross and District branch of Royal British Legion, and St Mary’s Church.

On behalf of these organisations, Ross Parishes thanked “everyone that helped to make Remembrance 2022 so very special.”

During the week a number of events were held; these including a wreath laying ceremony at the memorial in St Mary’s Churchyard, to mark the 22 Chelsea Pensioners who died in Ross during their evacuation from London during WW2.

A wreath laying and commemoration was led by Deputy Mayor Cllr Bev Pope to remember the fallen of both the Korean and Falklands Conflict, an especially poignant moment 40 years on.

At the service a choir from St Joseph’s School helped to make the event especially moving. On Friday November 11, the Armistice was marked with a short service at the Market Hall.
