CROWDS gathered to remember to those who have died in war at the Vale of Glamorgan's Armistice Day ceremony today (Wednesday, November 11).
The two minutes silence, held at the Merchant Seaman memorial on Holton Road, was preceded by a speech from Vale mayor Fred Johnson.
Mayor Johnson paid tribute to those who lost their lives in military service, asking that those in attendance pause to remember those who gave their lives in two world wars and more than 70 other wars world wide.
"We enjoy peace and freedom at such a high cost," he said.
Father Patrick O'Gorman led a brief service before councillors, veterans and other parties placed wreaths at the memorial.
The Armistice Day ceremony was also preceded on Remembrance Sunday by a parade and service that passed through Barry Town Centre, arriving at the cenotaph on Gladstone Road.
