A short service will take place next to Highbridge’s Frank Foley Statue in Market Street today (Friday, January 27th) to commemorate World Holocaust Day.
Highbridge War Memorial Trust is organising the service at 12 noon, which will be conducted by members of the Highbridge Clergy.
A wreath will be laid at the statue by Burnham and Highbridge Mayor Michael Clarke and the Chairman of Sedgemoor District Council, Cllr Gill Slocombe, on behalf of the two towns. Light refreshments will be served in Southwell House afterwards. All will be welcome to join the event.
Meanwhile, a coffee morning will also be held by the Highbridge War Memorial Trust on Saturday 28th January at Southwell House between 10am and 12 noon.
