Beacons of Light were lit across Thanet last night (November 11) as part of a Battle’s Over event.

The ceremonies, marking the 100 years since the end of World War One, saw more than 1,000 Beacons of Light lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK overseas territories.
