Veterans, dignitaries and representatives of local organsations will march through towns and lay wreaths at their war memorials on Sunday for remembrance events that will be more poignant than ever, being the 100th anniversary of the First World War.
In Mattishall the oldest resident is set to unveil a new war memorial.
Ida Parkin was born just before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. One hundred years later, she hopes to unveil Mattishall's new war memorial at the village's Remembrance Day service.
The parish council decided to build the war memorial after numerous villagers asked why Mattishall did not have one. Bricks and chimneys were saved during the demolition of the old Victorian school for the project.
About half of the £8,000 cost has come from grants and donations from villagers, the remainder will be paid by the parish council.
The formal unveiling ceremony will take place at 10.30am on Sunday on the village green. This will be followed by a dedication, a two-minute silence and the laying of wreaths by a number of village organisations.
There will then be a service at All Saints Church followed by refreshments. All welcome.

Following the wreath laying from around 20 different local organisations there will be a service at St Nicholas Church from 11.15am.
Traffic will also be stopped around the war memorial roundabout at 11am on Tuesday, November 11 as veterans gather for a short silence to remember the sacrifices made in the world wars.
Soldiers from the Light Dragoons are expected to represent their regiment at the remembrance service at All Saints Church in Swanton Morley at 10.45am on Sunday.

They will be replaced by 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards, who are returning from Germany.
The bells of All Saints will ring half muffled before the service and after the laying of the wreaths.
