KIDDERMINSTER Town Hall was packed for a First World War centenary talk about the War Graves Commission.

The Wyre Forest branch of the University of the Third Age (U3A) hosted the event on Monday (November 17).

U3A member Dennis Plant, of Shatterford, spoke about how the commission maintains war graves in this country and abroad.

"It was a very popular event, especially as this year marks 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War," said U3A acting chairman Elaine Yates.

The U3A , which provides learning and social opportunities for retired and semi-retired people aged over 50, meets on the third Monday of each month at the Town Hall.
