🎨 Is it the BFBS Colchester studio or Le Louvre? A true masterpiece now hangs proudly on the wall!

An unveiling ceremony took place earlier today, attended by dignitaries such as Colchester Garrison Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Ed Rankin.

The work celebrates the close ties between Colchester and the Armed Forces and was very kindly painted by local artist Allan Price, husband of former bfbs presenter, Liz Mullen.

A special service today at Colchester War Memorial commemorated the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers who fought in the Battle of Arnhem.

The event marked the 81st anniversary of Operation Market Garden, in which the British 1st Airborne Division suffered heavy losses while attempting to seize a series of bridges.

To honour the soldiers' landing on 17th September 1944 and their nine-day stand, the Dutch flag and Pegasus, the emblem of airborne forces, will fly from Colchester Town Hall until 25th September.
