Soldiers of the 1st Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment were 
given a hero's welcome today when they marched through the streets of Great Yarmouth. This was the latest of a series of homecoming parades by the Royal Anglians which have taken place across East Anglia. Just as in Norwich and Bury St Edmonds, thousands lined the streets of Yarmouth to cheer the guys and show their support and respect.
