To Commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, the Friends held a commorative concert on Sunday the 9th June in St Mary’s church, with music by ‘Sentimental Journey’. This followed the successful Village Fête that had been held at Bacton Manor the day before. Nearly 100 people, many dressing in clothes of the day, filled the church to hear Sentimental Journey perform a variety of music from the 1940s, bringing back memories for many of the wartime spirit and providing the perfect excuse for everyone to sing along. Punctuated by their own recollections and humour, the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. A bar provided refreshment including ‘Beacon Ale’, a special commemorative beer from local brewers Humber Doucy Brewing ’. The evening raised over £1,300 for the Friends’ funds.
