An annual parade through a Welsh town that marks Remembrance Day will not be taking place this year, it's been confirmed. The usual parade through the streets of Port Talbot commemorates all those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars, and pays respect to all those who have defended our country in the past and at present.
Pre-pandemic, hundreds of people would line the streets to support the Royal British Legion and local war heroes as a military band and dozens of former and current members of the armed forces would march through the town. It's always been a poignant and special occasion for the town and many people were expecting the event to return this year.
Whilst the parade did return in 2021, it will not be taking place this year due to an issue in staffing the event with enough police officers, Neath Port Talbot Council has confirmed.
