Rhuthun/Ruthin has gone to town to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War.
In addition to Friday's
The Last Bell (the presentation being repeated today at Y Tabernacl), there's The Fallen Exhibition in St Peter's Church, with copies of or actual mementoes of the war from a Rhuthun perspective.
Then, in one of the Craft Centre's units is a representation of the 101 soldiers from the area whose lives were lost owing to the war.
The organisers throughout, the Royal British Legion and the town council, have recycled the Rhuthun Market Town of the Future découpage board.
If you count the number of names, you get 103—because two are duplicated.
Then, posted around town, are a number of reminders on posts and columns near homes where the dead formerly lived, as in the three above.
This is a tangible reminder and it shows from where the fallen actually came. Obviously, Mwrog Street and other of the older parts of town are over-represented.
Meanwhile, shining towards the east, St Peter's spire has turned red for the duration, with the addition of red what looks like heavy red cellophane over some of the church's floodlights.
