Beginning with a service at 10.45 am in St James’ Cemetery, the commemorations will finish with the ringing of The Zeebrugge Bell at Dover Town Hall.

セント. ゼーブルッヘのほくろに対するジョージの日の襲撃は、最近のイギリスとベルギーの歴史の中で最も刺激的なエピソードでした. ひどい人命の損失にもかかわらず, ゼーブルッヘ襲撃は、第一次世界大戦の終わりを早めるために役立ちました.

After the ceremony at St James’ Cemetery, the civic party and veterans will return to Dover Town Hall to ring the Zeebrugge Bell. この鐘は、ドーバーの戦没者の犠牲を讃えてベルギー国王から感謝の贈り物として贈られたものでした。, many of whom are buried in St James Cemetery. As in previous years, residents of Dover and other members of the public are welcome to observe the commemorations, in particular the ringing of the Zeebrugge Bell at noon.

Following the commemorations, please join us for a free concert, in the Connaught Hall of the Town Hall, Bigginストリート, ドーバー, being conducted by the Royal Scout Harmony (Band) of Zeebrugge, commencing at 1pm.
