A car which drove through a Remembrance Sunday service before hitting two Brownies has sparked a police investigation.

The incident happened at 11am last Sunday when a driver refused to stop at manned barriers marking road closures for the event at the First World War memorial in Halvergate. 

The driver proclaimed "I'm more concerned with the living than I am with the dead" before ploughing her way through the sombre service during the two-minute silence.

Norfolk Constabulary is now "working to establish the circumstances," according to a spokeswoman.

She added: "An investigation is currently under way."

Villager Melanie James, who attended the service, said: "She drove through the main bulk of people, mainly Brownies, Rainbows and Guides.

"As none of us had phones out on such a sombre occasion, it took a bit of time watching gobsmacked before I thought that I’d try capturing her registration number.

"It was absolutely disgraceful. Halvergate had several ex-veterans who were there paying respects along with 60 to 70 people.

"The woman also shouted out ‘hurry up’ from her open window as the last post began. Vile behaviour."
