A rededication event was held for Trimley St Mary's memorial bench in its a new location, on the eve of Remembrance Sunday.

One of the oldest veterans from the village, Percy King, aged 91, laid the parish council wreath, and was saluted by an Army Cadet.

The bench, which carries the names of 30 people from the parish who lost their lives in the two World Wars, was installed by Trimley St Mary Parish Council on St Mary's Green, Faulkeners Way.

A parish council spokesperson said: "The ceremony went really well. The bench has been moved to a suitable location for everyone to be able to visit it."

The Rev Paul Clarke, rector of Walton and Trimley, blessed the bench, and members of the public paid their respects to the fallen.

There were three standard bearers at the moving service on Saturday, as well as local Army and Air Cadets.
