North East Remembers - HMS Calliope Dinner

To commemorate the end of the Great War, the North East War Memorials Project organised a series of events which brought together the communities of the North East with representatives from Ypres, Somme and Arras.

A dinner was held in the Wardroom of HMS Calliope to host the guests from Belgium, France and the United States. Hosted by the Royal Navy, guests also included civic leaders, and volunteers who assisted in the organisation of the weekend.
