Dignitaries from RBL Northants County Chair and Standard Bearer, Corby Masonic Club, Royal Lancers, Corby Town Council Mayor and Corby Labour Party laid wreaths.

The event was open to all with everyone attending the service invited back to the Ex-Servicemen’s Club for refreshments.

To coincide with the recent 40th anniversary of the Falklands, ex-serviceman Des Wallington gave a talk about his time served there, with memorabilia on show.

Corby Town Council would like to thank everyone who helped make this event happen and if anyone would like to be involved next year, please email [email protected].
