The last two days have included a remembrance service in primrose park, Llansamlet, a civic remembrance service in St Mary's church on Sunday and a remembrance service at the cenotaph today.
I was heartened by the number of people both young and old who have attended. I believe the oldest attendees were in their 90s whilst there were also toddlers and all ages in between.
Many people there like me have names in the family bible of those killed in the First World War.
My grandfather fought on the Somme and like many of his generation would not talk about it and at the end of the war went back to be a plumber.
We all owe that generation a huge debt of gratitude.
