Hundreds gather for Remembrance Sunday service in King’s Lynn




Hundreds of people gathered to remember those who have fought for us at a ceremony held in Lynn.

Starting off at the town hall gardens, people including dignitaries, cadets and more gathered to form a parade to Tower Gardens to meet other members of the public.

Veterans then took up their positions north of the war memorial before the exhortation was read by West Norfolk Mayor Paul Bland.
