Remembrance Sunday at Hornsea
Once again the Rotary Club of Hornsea has come together and honour those who have served and sacrificed for their country.
The club has helped with marshalling for the Remembrance Service parade in the town every year, a function that allow us to be involved with a tremendously active part of the local town activities.
As a Club, we consider this alliance to be of considerable importance and hope that it will grow and has become a permanent part of our Rotary Calendar year.

Piper PC Danny Fleming also entertained everyone with some well-known Scottish tunes as well.
