Thank you Lowestoft for your contribution to Remembrance 2018, from all at Lowestoft Town Council
Lowestoft Town Council was awarded There but not There silhouettes from the Armed Forces Covenant and two of them have today been placed on the benches at the poppy garden in Belle Vue Park. We hope that the people of the town will feel that the silhouettes are a poignant memorial as we approach Remembrance Sunday and will be respected by all those that go to view them.
One parishioner commented that this is the "Best thing that has happened in the town for a long time. Everyone should have a look and pay their respect. Well done to everyone involved in this"
Please see below the link to the Lowestoft Journal's article about the silhouettes:
