The 6th June 2024 marks the 80th Anniversary of D Day when Allied forces mounted the largest amphibious invasion ever seen, starting the action that would lead to the liberation of North-Western Europe from Nazi occupation.
Across the nation, the bravery and sacrifice of those people who secured the peace and freedom we enjoy today will be remembered by the lighting of beacons and the Lamplights of Peace at 9.15pm on 6th June.
In our Village, we will be commemorating this by the lighting of the Lamplight of Peace and the reading of The International Tribute of Peace by Bryony Falkus, Alpington resident and Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, at 9.15pm at the Wheel of Fortune, Alpington.
Also at the Wheel that evening there will be Fish and Chips available from the Hippy Chippy (Fish and Chips were never rationed during the Second World War), a D Day themed quiz from 7pm and live music from Julie Dee after the quiz. Please let Barry and Naomi at the Wheel know if you want to join in the Quiz (maximum 6 people per team), telephone number 01508 492712.
