The mayor of Great Yarmouth, Paula Waters-Bunn, will lay a wreath on behalf of the borough.

She said: "Trafalgar Day holds a special place in our hearts as it pays tribute to the remarkable victory achieved by Admiral Lord Nelson and his brave crew at the Battle of Trafalgar.

"It is a day when we come together as a community to honour the enduring spirit of courage, unity and resilience that has defined our nation for centuries.’’

Nelson was born in Norfolk and achieved several victories for the Royal Navy between 1794 and 1805.

He was killed by a French sniper at the Battle of Trafalgar.
