It was an emotional ceremony for the local branch, which nearly folded in recent years.

Held at the memorial outside St Matthew's Church, it was attended by a small group due to Covid-19 restrictions, including three members of the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

The two-minutes silence and prayer were led by the Rector of Skegness the Rev Richard Holden, and the Last Post and Reveille were played by bugler Jackie Parkins. A wreath was laid by RBL member Tony Kelly.
