A large crowd gathered in Bethel Square for an evening of entertainment last night with music provided by the talented Brecon Town Concert Band.

We also witnessed the lighting of the beacon to commemorate Victory in Europe Day as the night drew to a close.

Poems were recited by town councillor Sian Drinan, and two school pupils from Brecon, as speeches were made also.
