HUNDREDS of people lined the streets of Abergavenny on Sunday to witness one of the biggest parades the town has ever staged.

The commemoration VE event travelled from Bailey Park to Cross Street where a remembrance service was led by the Rev Jeremy Winston of St Mary's Priory Church.

War veterans mingled with scouts and more than 50 children dressed as evacuees in the 15-minute long parade which included a Sherman tank, tractors, jeeps, motorcycles, 1940s' fire engines, standard bearers and members of the Royal British Legion, SSAFA, Welsh Guards, Red Cross and WRVS.
