Joy Smout, secretary, was master of ceremonies, recited a poem by Paul Verlaine, Chanson d’automne.

The mayor, Janet Crisp, spoke of sacrifices made by so many that day.

The Rev Linda Cowan gave a reading from the bible a passage relating to a tree as a symbol of love and held prayers.

Oldest member of RBLWS, Chris Powers, was honoured by unveiling the bronze plaque which was placed by the Oak Sapling.

Barbara Woosnam, welfare officer, presented the mayor and vicar with a 75th anniversary D-Day pin brooch.

The standard bearer, Trudy Davies, Dipped the Standard in ‘act of homage’ at 11am for two minutes silence in remembrance of all who had gallantly served that day.

Paul Jones, ex-sapper veteran, said it was “a fitting tribute by the lovely ladies of Llanidloes Royal British Legion in memory of the brave men who went ashore 75 years ago today”.

The ladies would like to thank Phil Stallard for donating the sapling, Garfield Evans for donating the floral tribute around the tree, and John Smout for help in planting the tribute.

The memorial Oak tree will be a reminder to all who pass what a great sacrifice those men/boys gave and endured for the peace and freedom of which we live in now.
