About 20 Dunkirk Little Ships are sailing into Ipswich this weekend and the public is invited to join them for a closer look.
The ships are all veterans of the heroic Dunkirk flotilla in May 1940, when 700 small boats joined the Royal Navy to rescue 338,000 British and French troops from the threat of Nazi capture in northern France.
The visit to Ipswich, organised by the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships and the Borough Council, will include a thanksgiving and memorial service, with wreath-laying, at the Ipswich Haven Marina on Sunday at 11am.
The public will be able to inspect these gallant ships tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
