Alderney joins Trafalgar beacons
Alderney plans to join in the national celebrations for Trafalgar weekend.

They will form part of a chain of beacons which will be lit across the UK and the other Channel Islands to mark the event later this month.

The first beacon will be lit alongside HMS Victory in Portsmouth on 21 October - the chain includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The celebrations will continue over the weekend - with a ball on Saturday night and church bells sounding on Sunday.
