Remembrance
The Secretary of State will deliver the Welsh Exhortation and honour the memories of those that have died during conflict by planting a wooden cross bearing his own personal tribute to those who have given their lives.
Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns said:
At this time of remembrance, we pay tribute to the generations of service men and women who lost their lives serving our country, and defending our freedom. The people of Wales will always honour, with respect and appreciation, the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
It will be an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to pay my own personal tributes at the Field of Remembrance, and to commemorate those who fought - and continue to fight - in the service of our nation around the world.
