"They shall grow not old..." At 7.30 this morning the Royal British Legion joined members of the community to remember the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the battle of the Somme. During the ceremony at the Peace Memorial wreaths were laid and prayers were said.
The Peace Memorial in Attleborough was erected to celebrate the end of the Crimean War. It marks peace rather than war and is engraved with the distance to local towns and villages rather than the names of the fallen. It was a fitting place to pray for peace in the world today and honour this anniversary.
