Armistice Day services in Freshwater West and Pembroke Dock

The services marked the day when 105 years ago, on November 11, 1918, the First World War came to an end as the Armistice was signed. The Armistice was signed but to give time for the word to be sent around to troops, it came into effect at 11am although some fighting did continue for a number of weeks following the Armistice.

At 3pm, Armed Forces personnel past and present convened at Pembroke Dock Military Cemetery – Wales’ only dedicated military cemetery.
