The mayor will lead a procession of civic representatives from the town hall to the war memorial where she, along with representatives from various organisations, will lay a wreath.

A bugler will play The Last Post, signalling the beginning of the two-minute silence and the start of the ceremony at 11am.

The Lynn remembrance will be streamed live on borough council social media channels for those who are unable to attend in person.
