The Market Square will be closed off from 10.15am until midday as the procession makes its way to the service at St Nicholas Church. 

Following the service, the procession will continue on to Church Street and out to Vicarage Street and North Street before turning into Mundesley Road and then finally into the cemetery.

Police will be on hand to assist in the movement of traffic and there will be appropriate signage throughout the town centre.

A fundraiser set up following Alfie’s death raised more than £15,000 to help pay for his funeral.

The driver of the truck, a man in his 50s, failed to stop but was later arrested by police and released on bail until November 9 as an investigation continues.
