Forces’ veterans marched to the Cenotaph on Wednesday, October 5, and on the following night, a fog horn sounded as the lights were switched on at Saltburn Pier.

In Redcar, the Cenotaph lighting cost £12,250 and it's cost a total of £385,000 for the pier and amusement arcade to be floodlit, and for coloured lighting to be added to the tracks of the cliff lift.

The Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Tourism, Councillor Dave Fitzpatrick said, “We’re absolutely delighted with the end results.Ìý

"They’re really eye-catching and we’re sure, particularly at Saltburn, that they’re going to be a real visitor attraction.�
