William attends memorial service in Snettisham for the 1953 flood victims

Posted by Susan T on January 29, 2023, 4:07 pm

England suffered one of its worst peacetime disasters when floods battered the east coast, claiming hundreds of lives on the night of January 31, almost 70 years ago.

The late Queen Elizabeth II visited the aftermath, witnessing the devastation caused by floods in the Norfolk area on February 2, 1953 - and now her grandson William, whose countryside home of Anmer Hall is near to Snettisham, appeared to want to pay his own respects.

I'm glad William appeared for the Memorial Service, that means a lot to the people that he took the time to observe the tragedy that, I'm sure still has affected them all these years on.

Good on William for honoring the anniversary and meeting survivors. England and Scotland got the worst of it, but the storm also slammed The Netherlands and Belgium as well.
