Cromer honours those who fell at The Somme
Covering Cromer, Mundesley, the Runtons and surrounding villages in association with the North Walsham Times and Sheringham Independent
To mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, Cromer Town Council, Cromer Parish Church and the Royal British Legion invited individuals and organisations to participate in an 18-hour vigil, where they stood as an honour guard at the Cromer War Memorial in the grounds of the Parish Church in hourly intervals, commencing at 6pm on Thursday 30 June and continuing for 18 hours through the night ending at noon on Friday 1 July. Additionally, at 7.28am on 1 July, a whistle was blown three times to mark the time the British attack ‘went over the top’, one hundred years to the minute.
After the vigil a service of Remembrance, led by the Rev. James Porter, Vicar of Cromer, took place. The service concluded with the laying of wreaths, which were specially designed by the Royal British Legion to mark the 100th year since the Battle of the Somme.
