Vandalised war memorials cleaned for remembrance
Graffiti is removed from two war memorial areas in Lowestoft ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
Two war memorial sites which were vandalised have been cleaned in time for Remembrance Sunday.
The Lowestoft Naval Memorial, at Belle Vue Park, was sprayed with what was believed to be red paint on Saturday afternoon, while a seating area near the town's Royal Plain war monument was covered in black graffiti.
Workers for East Suffolk Council and Lowestoft Town Council have since "cleared the graffiti at Royal Plain" and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has cleaned the naval memorial.
The town council owns Belle Vue Park and grounds manager Jonny Hawes said workers found paint had "seeped into the stone".
