As we head into the final week before Remembrance Day, don’t forget to save the date for a special event.

Friends Of Hebburn Cemetery Q.A.V.S. are putting on a beautiful Poppy Light Show, and our band will be there to take part.

We’d love to see as many of you as possible come along, join in, and remember together as a community.

We’ve heard that there will be a nice warm cup of hot chocolate as well 😋
