On
the
17th
November
2018,
St
Mary’s
Church
was
filled
to
capacity
for
a
concert
to
celebrate
the
100th
anniversary
of
the
ending
of
hostilities
of
the
Great
War
on
11th
November
1918.
The
war
that
had
cost
so
many
lives
and
decimated
so many families and communities around the globe and forever changed the lives of those who returned.
Written
and
directed
by
Sue
Holdich
and
Cath
Lockwood,
the
audience
were
treated
to
an
evening
of
pastiches,
words
and
music
recalling
the
events,
both
distant
and,
all
too
frequently,
devastatingly
close
to
home,
as
they
impacted those living in and around Bacton.

Everybody
who
attended
the
concert
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
evening
which
was
both
entertaining
and
poignant
as an opportunity to remember.
