There are less than 100 days to go until Suffolk commemorates the centenary of the First World War ending.

Many events have been organised by both the Royal British Legion and a small team set up by the Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, Clare, Countess of Euston.

The Suffolk War Graves Project, in particular, is trying to ensure the story of the Great War is passed down to the next generation.

On November 8, Suffolk school children will lay poppies on 1,332 war graves in 248 cemeteries throughout the county. More than 10,000 Suffolk people died in the First World War.

The RBL aims to find people in each parish which includes a war grave or graves, to help organise research into local people and to find a story about them.

This week, a video was released highlighting the project, featuring project organiser Mark Brennan and Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, president of the Suffolk County Royal British Legion.

What other events are happening in Suffolk to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War?

There are five main events around the county, including the war graves project, and they get under way in October.

Maritime Commemoration

On October 7 between 1pm and 4pm, there will be a Maritime Commemoration at Belle View Park, Lowestoft. The parade and dedication of maritime organisations and societies marks the vast maritime effort by the men and women of Suffolk during the First World War. For more details visit here
