More about this scene
The Walmer Stores in the centre of this photo has its blinds down. It was a sad day for Walmer and Deal when on 22 March 1996 the Royal Marines beat a final retreat and ended a 300-year association with the towns. His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Captain General of the Royal Marines, said: 'I am very grateful for this opportunity to offer, on behalf of the Corps, our appreciation and gratitude to the people of Walmer and Deal for their support, tolerance and affection over so many years.' The Royal Marines were moved to Portsmouth.
