ang 98th Anniversary of the Dover Patrol’s heroic and historic raid on Zeebrugge on St George’s Day 1918 ay ginunita sa isang taunang seremonya noong 23 Abril 2016.

Representatives from Dover and Zeebrugge laid wreaths together with Veteran’s Associations and other Community Groups. This year the Belgium Royal Scout Harmony Band played during the ceremony

Ang St. Ang pagsalakay ni George's Day sa nunal sa Zeebrugge ay isang pinaka-nakaka-inspirasyong episode kamakailang kasaysayan ng British at Belgian.. Sa kabila ng matinding pagkawala ng buhay, ang Zeebrugge Raid ay nakatulong upang mapabilis ang pagtatapos ng Unang Digmaang Pandaigdig.

Following the ceremony at the cemetery further respects were paid at Dover Town Hall where, at noon, ang Mayor ng Bayan ng Dover, Councillor Chris Precious rang the Zeebrugge Bell. Ang Bell ay isang regalo ng pasasalamat mula sa Hari ng Belgium bilang pagkilala sa sakripisyo ng nahulog na Dover.

Following the commemorations the Scout Band gave a free public concert at the Dover Town Hall which was much appreciated by those attending.
