The annual Remembrance Day Ceremony took place at All Saints Church, Mullingar on Sunday 8 November at 10.30am.

Rev Ian Horner said: "As we remember those who gave their lives in both World Wars, we also honour all those who have served in our local emergency services and civilian organisations.

"We are conscious of the vital part their members play in keeping our communities safe."

The ceremony is an opportunity to hold in prayer and gratitude those continue to serve on the frontline, including members of the Civil Defence, the Order of Malta, the First Responders, the Fire Brigade and An Garda Síochána.

Representatives from ONE, IUNVA, the 4th Field Artillery Regiment Association, the Military Police Association, and the Royal British Legion also attended.
