Chatteris also joined 1,000 other towns and villages across the country in lighting its beacon, sounding the ‘Last Post’ on a bugle and ringing out the church bells of St Peter & St Paul’s church in High Street.

Lawrence Weetman was appointed as town crier by Chatteris Town Council in November 2014 and takes part in various events, including the town’s annual summer festival.
