An appeal has been launched to help reunite a war veteran’s medal which he lost during Sunday’s remembrance service.
Police in Southend have called on the public to help in the search for the 'Korean Ambassador for Peace' medal.
It was being worn by a veteran attending the service at the cenotaph off Clifftown Parade.
The medal went missing during the remembrance parade along the clifftop somewhere between the cenotaph and the Prittlewell Gardens parking spaces.
