A national tribute will take place this Sunday November 11 to mark 100 years since the end of the World War I.

In Wells, wreaths will be laid at the war memorial at 4.30pm and a special service, to which all are invited, will be held in a marquee on the quayside at 5.30pm. As in other years, members of the lifeboat crew will join other services and groups within the town at the memorial and then march to the service on the quay (rather than to the church as usual).

The beacon in the harbour will be lit at 7pm as one of over 1000 beacons to be lit in salute. It is planned that both lifeboats will be launched at the boathouse early on the tide around 6.30pm to come up to the quay during the beacon lighting.
