<p>11/11/2025. Burton-on-Trent, UK. The Princess of Wales during a visit to the National Memorial Arboretum as it leads the nation in commemorating Armistice Day with a Service of Remembrance on the Armed Forces Memorial. Her Royal Highness joined attendees in observing the two-minute silence at 11am before laying a wreath in remembrance of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and all those who have served in the Armed Forces. The Princess then met a group of secondary school students from military families, whose parents are currently on deployment, to reflect the often unseen, but important contribution of Service families. Finally, Her Royal Highness had the opportunity to view a special exhibition currently on display at the Arboretum, Letters from the Frontline – Words, War and Victory.

<p>Penycloddiau means Hill of the Dykes or Hill of the Trenches.<br />
<br />
&quot;Penycloddiau is a hill in Flintshire, Wales, and one of five Marilyns in the Clwydian Range.<br />
<br />
&quot;The hill, like Foel Fenlli and Moel Arthur to the south, has an Iron Age hillfort at its summit. It covers 26 hectares (64 acres) making it one of the largest hillforts in Wales. In 2017, excavations by the Clywdian Range Archaeology Group (CRAG) unearthed a significant number of 4,000-year-old stone tools from the Bronze Age, the discovery indicates human activity occurred much earlier than first thought in the area.<br />
<br />
&quot;Penycloddiau is crossed by the Offa's Dyke Path and the Clwydian Way, two long distance footpaths that traverse the hills in this area.&quot;<br />
