The main towns were not the only ones to mark Armistice Day, with villages across the Falmouth, Helston and Lizard area holding their own services.

They included St Keverne, where large crowds of people turned out for a service at the war memorial in the square. A parade from the top of the village was led by St Keverne Band and included veterans, firefighters, youth groups and Churches Together.

In the evening the village beacon was lit, followed by community singing with Maen Voes Choir.

A poppy cascade was hung at Mawnan Memorial Hall as part of the Remembrance Day commemorations in the village, where a service was held on the green and raised £86 in donations for the Royal British Legion.

In Mabe the village’s new memorial and garden was blessed and wreaths were laid by various village organisations, plus the headteacher of Mabe School, Paul Hayes, who had been a marine for many years. Local granite stonemason Tim Marsh donated the new memorial and thanks to the charitable work of P Chapman Construction of Truro in some awful weather conditions the access steps were completed just in time.

In Flushing there was an Act of Remembrance at the memorial on the quay, where a wreath was laid by Dan Tregaskes on behalf of the Mylor Parish Council. A procession from St Peter's Church was led by Major Joe Greenwood and Major

Maria Greenwood carrying the two British Legion Flags and and Luke Stevenson sounded the Last Post and Reveille.

In Mullion there was an Act of Remembrance by the memorial in the churchyard and a service at Mullion Methodist Church, where Mullion School Choir sang an amalgamation of two songs, After the War and Keep the Home Fires Burning, to a packed congregation.

The service was led by Rev Fran Johnson and the Last Post and Reveille were sounded by George Harvey. During the service there were readings by Feyona Kingma and Andrew Axe and the 1st Mullion Guides took up the collection.

At The Lizard piper John Christophers, a resident of the village and member of Kernow Pipes and Drums, played Battle's O'er on the green at 6am, to mark the moment the guns fell silent 100 years ago. This was followed later on by a service at the war memorial.

More than 130 people from across the Meneage parishes gathered at Mawgan War Memorial, where wreaths were laid on behalf of a large number of community groups and organisations. Ron Burdekin spoke the exhortation and the service was led by Rev John Ough. Anthony Hoskin sounded the Last Post and Reveille and more than £400 was raised for the Royal British Legion.

Wreaths were laid at Cury war memorial by Father John Palmer and the citation read by Robert Wright at a service led by Rev Canon Shane Griffiths.

Godolphin held its service on Friday, led by Rev David Miller from St Michael's in Helston and the chaplain of RNAS Culdrose. It included personnel from the Royal Navy, the Royal Marine Corp, the Army and the United States Marine Corp, with children from Godolphin School placing crosses for each of the five men from the village killed in the world wars. The Last Post and Reveille were sounded Martin Pascoe from Helston Town Band.
