Doreen Joy, parish council clerk, said: "It was moving to see the beacon lit in the fallen men’s honour as the last post was played and a minutes silence to reflect on their sacrifice.

"Relatives, friends and residents of the village were then invited to lay a candle for each soldier as the roll call was read."
