Sunday will mark the 80th anniversary of the bombing of the Ransome and Marles factory in Newark that killed 41 people.
Coronavirus restrictions mean the annual service of commemoration cannot go ahead at Newark Cemetery this year.
Instead, Laurence Goff from the Friends of Newark Cemetery has created an online tribute.
