6th June 2024 – 80th Anniversary of D-Day WWII

To mark the 80th Anniversary of D-Day on 6th June 2024 the Garw Valley Community Council purchased 4 Lamp Lights of Peace.   The lamps represent the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the darkness of war and at 9.15 pm on the anniversary date our councillors lit the lamps and kept vigil at four locations in the valley
