It really starts to get busy from now on in, with a whole host of remembrance services, followed closely by Christmas and all the carol services and church services associated with that.
This morning I was in the Civic Centre first thing for the launch of the West Glamorgan Poppy Appeal. This appeal raised £134,000 in Swansea last year, a new record. They are hoping to top that amount this year.
At 12 noon we reconvened in Swansea Market to launch the memorial garden that the council facilitates at the Oxford Street entrance. After a brief religious service we each planted crosses of remembrance in the soil.
Afterwards I chatted to some of the veterans and cadets who staff the poppy stall here and in the streets.
