A PROUD and respectful Bodmin present came out in force to do their bit to thank those in the past who fell for the freedoms we all enjoy today.

There were four Remembrance Sunday events in the town that saw a wide range of veterans and community groups paying tribute with the day starting at the St Lawrence’s Memorial Clock before progressing to moving ceremonies outside of the Bodmin Keep and the war memorial in Priory Park before finishing with a church service at St Petrocs.

Dignitaries at the event included Harriet Hills, the High Sheriff of Cornwall and Daphne Skinnard, the vice lord-lieutenant in addition to Cllr Mike Barbery and the mayoral party, as well as representatives of Bodmin’s church faiths.
