Due to the current situation it is not possible for CBC to go ahead with their planned service of remembrance, so they have put together a virtual commemoration on the CBC website, which includes personal messages from the Mayor and Garrison Commander, prayers from the Bishop, links to the Imperial War Museum, Churchill’s speeches and resources for the public to hold their own ‘at home’ events.

Taking part is our former Mayor, Wivenhoe Town Councillor Bob Needham who is also Colchester's Town Crier.
