Lowestoft's 'Our Fallen' project is a tribute to those people from the town and surrounding areas, who died because of two World Wars. It is probably the most complete record and includes photos, dates, places and memories. 'Our Fallen' gives details of people from Lowestoft and surrounding villages lost in the two world wars - honouring and remembering their sacrifice. As well as Lowestoft, other neighbouring areas included are: Barnby, Blundeston, Carlton Colville, Corton, Flixton, Lothingland Flixton, The Saints Gisleham, Kessingland, Lound, Mutford, Oulton, Oulton Broad, Rushmere, Somerleyton, Ashby and Herringfleet. The inspiration for the our fallen project came from a Felixstowe project “Felixstowe Remembers” where as you can see they identified where people had lived and added posters to the relevant streets. To me this bought history to life and made me wonder if we could do something similar for Lowestoft? Special thanks to Darren Aitchison and his team.

The Excelsior Trust is a registered charity and provides traditional sailing in a restored fishing 'Smack' for everyone. To mark the Excelsior's 100th year - the waters off Lowestoft Ness were festooned with the red sails of traditionally rigged sailing smacks, as The Excelsior Trust hosts an international Smack Race. The event was staged to celebrate the centenary of Lowestoft's own 77ft sailing vessel Excelsior LT472, an icon of the town's national fishing heritage. Up to 25 traditional vessels were in Lowestoft and the 70ft 1st Class Essex Oyster Smack Pioneer was in the racing, the last of the large Essex Smacks to survive. Back on Lowestoft's South Pier, there was the 'Vessels Festival' with stalls, music and displays reflecting the now vibrant maritime, business and arts scene in Lowestoft.
