Her Majesty the Queen has laid a wreath in remembrance of the 60th anniversary of the unveiling of the first Cross of Sacrifice to be completed after World War II.
It was the Queen's father, King George VI, who first unveiled the memorial cross at St Mary's Church, Great Bircham near Sandringham, Norfolk 6 decades ago.
On 14 July 1946 the 20-year-old Princess Elizabeth joined her father in a Norfolk country churchyard as he unveiled Britain's first Cross of Sacrifice to remember servicemen who died in the Second World War.
And the Queen returned to the 14th century St Mary's Church at Great Bircham, near Fakenham, to join about 500 people for an emotional service to mark the 60th anniversary of the original ceremony led by King George VI.
