Cromer Town Council
In 2020, Cromer Town Council had planned to commemorate several important occasions in the year.
Starting in May, arrangements were in place to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE-Day), this day was the end of conflict in Europe in WWII. Followed in August by the Victory in Japan Day (VJ-Day) which saw the conclusion of war in the Pacific arena and then on 15-September-2020, the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain was due to be commemorated. Along with these national events, Cromer Town Council was due to hold a dedication service for the new Poppy Panels which were installed behind the War Memorial so that wreaths could be displayed longer and for everyone to see.
The Council had also agreed to make and display 4.500 ceramic poppies in similar style to the “Weeping Window” which was held at the Tower of London in 2018. Supported by some brilliant sponsors and donors, plans for the structure were well advance with many residents purchasing their poppy – to be collected following removal of the display. Unfortunately, what happened next was a global pandemic which put an end to all the events. Attempts were made to try arranging the events in 2021 were short lived due to a further national lockdown which meant the earliest we could celebrate would be mid-2022. Continued on page 4...
