An additional 200 young cadets started the evening by parading from King’s Lynn Town Hall, along the Quayside and into the square. They were then inspected by the Mayor of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, Councillor Paul Bland, along with other dignitaries.

Entertainment was provided on stage by the Marham Military Wives Choir and Ashlea Lauren afterwards.

The beacon and peace lamp were lit by the Mayor at 9:30pm at the same time as they were lit across the country.
