Yesterday, our community gathered in a powerful display of unity, pride, and respect at the Cefn Mawr Cenotaph. Over 300 residents came together on Plas Kynaston Lane to witness a moving service, standing side by side in honour of the brave souls from Cefn who served and sacrificed in the First and Second World Wars 🌍❤️.

The Annual Remembrance Sunday Service reminded us of the strength and togetherness that defines Cefn. Led by Reverend Kate Tiltman, with contributions from Councillor Mrs. Sonia Benbow-Jones, Councillor Derek Wright, Maisie Carman, Miss B. Grey Davies, Mr. D.C. Roberts, and students from Ysgol Min-Y-Ddol, Ysgol Rhosymedre, Ysgol Acrefair, and Ysgol Cefn Mawr, the service filled the morning with warmth and reverence . Our hymns, accompanied by the inspiring sounds of Brass with Class, carried our gratitude and respect skyward.

Wreaths, each laid with love and care, were placed by:

• Chairman Mr. Phil Vaughan of Cefn Community Council
• North Wales Police
• Ruabon Air Cadets
• MP Steve Witherden of Montgomeryshire & Glyndwr
• Kim Edwards, sister of Wayne Edwards, a fallen soldier in Bosnia 1993

After the service, the community gathered at George Edwards Hall, where we enjoyed a warm buffet, tea, coffee, and musical performances by Ysgol Min-Y-Ddol’s School Choir and Raise the Roof Choir 🎶☕️. The hall was filled with camaraderie and pride, a powerful testament to the spirit of Cefn—a community where we come together to remember, support, and celebrate one another.

This memorable day would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of so many. We extend heartfelt thanks to:
