Cllr Dorrance, who is also the council's Armed Forces Champion and chairs the Armed Forces Covenant Regional Partnership Powys, said:

"I would like to take this opportunity on Armed Forces Day to recognise and give sincere thanks and support to the British Armed Forces.

"I am deeply proud of our servicemen and servicewomen - theirs is the ultimate public service.

"Our Armed Forces play a crucial role in defending our communities at home and abroad. They showed total professionalism with their support in Powys during the pandemic and continue to play a crucial role in defending the UK and our NATO allies."
