Service to mark a year since Durham Light Infantry Museum closure
Supporters of the Durham Light Infantry Museum have been laying flowers to mark a year since its closure.
On Saturday 1st April, people against the closure of the museum, which housed artefacts from the historic regiment for nearly 50 years, held a short service to mark the occasion.
The building, just outside the city centre, closed in 2016 due to an issue of finances and foot-fall, Durham County Council said.
The council also said the exhibits will be more widely viewed in a central location, with plans to show them at Palace Green near the cathedral, in both permanent and rotating collections, and other planned events.
However, campaigners who fought the closure insist the artefacts deserve to be kept together, publicly.
