Dozens gathered in the cathedral grounds yesterday (July 15) for the event along with a host of local dignitaries.
After a poignant parade, the service began with the handing over from the Suffolk Regimental Museum of the restored colours of the 11th Suffolk Regiment, Cambridgeshire men, on loan to Ely Museum.
