Mary Tavy remembered those who lost their lives in service of their country at remembrance events today (Sunday).

Councillor Jane Honey joined local officials, veterans and serving military personnel in laying wreaths at the village memorial as she read out the names of the fallen on the memorial.

A small wooden cross and villagers’ knitted poppies were laid outside the Methodist Chapel where a service was also held.

The act of remembrance at the war memorial in Mary Tavy was conducted by Methodist minister Rev Paul Smith.

This was followed by a service of remembrance for the whole village in the methodist led by the Rev Hazel Butland.
