A north Norfolk Royal British Legion (RBL) branch has welcomed members to share their experience of a First World War memorial event.
Northrepps RBL met with members from North Walsham and Wymondham branches on Monday, April 2.
At the meeting Peter How and Colin Chambers gave their accounts of the journey to the GP90 wreath laying.
Lorna Fish, chairman of Northrepps RBL, said: 'We were very thankful to these two for making it possible to represent us at this historic commemorative event.
'Colin and Peter gave us accounts from their journey, the march and the wreath laying, and what it was like to see all the RBL standards.'
She added: 'Emotion was very high and it was almost impossible to describe.'
The branch was given GP90 photographs which they will display in St. Mary's Church.
