No beacon (maybe that's tonight, somewhere else) but a dignified short commemoration, with George the Town Cryer giving a short overview of what happened on D-Day, Kelvyn playing the last post, one of the Sea Cadets reading the Remembrance Day extracts (the "They Shall Not Grow Old" poem), and Simon the piper playing a lament in the first of his five appearances at D-Day commemorations across the county.
I'm not sure what the Ukranian chap in the orange juice stall thought of it all, though he was very quiet and respectful.
It seems that there was a 9pm ceremony, with the beacon, which I missed, sadly.
