VETERANS will stage a dual commemorative parade at a seafront location next month.

The Royal British Legion is marking its 75th anniversary in County Durham with a joint event to tie in with the 60th anniversary of D-Day.

Ex-service groups and civic leaders from across the county will take part in the short parade, to be followed by an outdoor service, at Seaham Harbour, in County Durham, on Sunday, June 13.

Those taking part will meet at the war memorial, in North Terrace, at 11.30am for the start of the march at 11.50am. The service will begin at noon.

Seaham Harbour vicar the Reverend Graeme Pollock will take the service, which will feature the laying of wreaths.
