Armistice Day Durham Cathedral

For the first time in 30 years Armistice Day was marked at the Durham Light Infantry First World War Memorial at the exterior of the East End of Durham Cathedral. Earlier this year, Cathedral staff removed hoarding that has been around the East End for thirty years as stone renewal work has taken place. The War Memorial was hidden during this time. This Armistice Day it is fully on view and the day will be marked with a visit from the 18th Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry, also known as the Durham Pals.
