First pictures from the Zeebrugge Raid Commemoration Ceremony held today at St. James' Cemetery and at Dover Town Hall.
Representatives from all over the UK and Belgium attended, supported brilliantly by the Royal Scout Harmony (Band) of Zeebrugge.
Later at the Town Hall the Zeebrugge Bell was rung at precisely midday, as it has done every year since it was gifted by the King of the Belgians as a memorial to the sacrifice of British servicemen in the raid.
The Zeebrugge Raid took place 98 years ago on 23 April 1918 in a daring and courageous effort to prevent enemy warships and submarines from entering the North Sea.
