English: As has been said before, as was the case for many communities across Wales, Remembrance Sunday was very different in Alyn and Deeside, and it was the same across the United Kingdom. But I was very grateful for the opportunity to lay a wreath in remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms. I did, however, miss seeing friends and neighbours on what is usually a big occasion in the civic calendar. However, it was right that veterans remained at the very heart of Sunday's and today's events, and I know the Minister will be delighted to know that 94-year-old Tom Oldfield was present at the service, and did his family, as he always does, very, very proud. The Minister will know we are immensely grateful to Tom in Connah's Quay. Llywydd, we did have some sad news in Alyn and Deeside this week. We lost a true hero. Gilbert Butler was 19 when he took part in the D-day landings. At 91 years of age, Gilbert received France's highest honour for his bravery - the Légion d'honneur. And that was presented to Gilbert by my dad four years ago. I'd like to take the opportunity today to say, 'Rest in peace, Gilbert, thank you for all you gave us'. My thoughts are very much with Gilbert's loved ones at this sad time. Llywydd, if I may, I would also like to put on record my thanks to the armed forces for the way they have worked to tackle the challenge of the coronavirus, and all the work that they will continue to do in the years ahead. This debate is an opportunity to remember, and to put on record our cross-party tribute to all those who gave so much so that we could be free. In closing, Llywydd, I would like to say: at the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Welsh: Fel y dywedwyd o'r blaen, fel yn achos llawer o gymunedau ledled Cymru, roedd Sul y Cofio yn wahanol iawn yn Alun a Glannau Dyfrdwy, ac roedd yr un fath ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig. Ond roeddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn am y cyfle i osod torch i gofio'r rhai a wnaeth yr aberth eithaf i gadw ein rhyddid. Fodd bynnag, gwelais golli gweld ffrindiau a chymdogion ar yr hyn sydd fel arfer yn achlysur mawr yn y calendr dinesig. Fodd bynnag, roedd hi'n iawn fod cyn-filwyr yn parhau i fod yn ganolog yn nigwyddiadau dydd Sul a heddiw, a gwn y bydd y Gweinidog wrth ei fodd yn gwybod bod Tom Oldfield, sy'n 94 oed, yn bresennol yn y gwasanaeth, er mawr falchder i'w deulu, fel bob amser. Bydd y Gweinidog yn gwybod ein bod yn hynod ddiolchgar i Tom yng Nghei Connah. Lywydd, cawsom newyddion trist yn Alun a Glannau Dyfrdwy yr wythnos hon. Collasom wir arwr. Roedd Gilbert Butler yn 19 oed pan gymerodd ran yng nglaniadau D-day. Yn 91 mlwydd oed, cafodd Gilbert anrhydedd uchaf Ffrainc am ei ddewrder - y Légion d'honneur. Ac fe'i cyflwynwyd i Gilbert gan fy nhad bedair blynedd yn ôl. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle heddiw i ddweud, 'Gorffwyswch mewn hedd, Gilbert, diolch am bopeth a roesoch i ni'. Rwy'n meddwl am anwyliaid Gilbert ar yr adeg drist hon. Lywydd, os caf, hoffwn gofnodi hefyd fy niolch i'r lluoedd arfog am y ffordd y maent wedi gweithio i fynd i'r afael â her y coronafeirws, a'r holl waith y byddant yn parhau i'w wneud yn y blynyddoedd i ddod. Mae'r ddadl hon yn gyfle i gofio, ac i gofnodi ein teyrnged drawsbleidiol i bawb a roddodd gymaint fel y gallem fod yn rhydd. Wrth gloi, Lywydd, hoffwn ddweud: pan elo'r haul i lawr, ac ar wawr y bore, ni â'u cofiwn hwy.
