A touch of Hollywood-style glamour will come to Gorleston’s Palace Cinema tomorrow as it rolls out the red carpet for a high-profile guest.
Preparations are underway for the official opening of the high street picture house which has proved a popular draw in its first few weeks of opening.
Arriving in a Rolls Royce to a bank of flashbulbs will be Margaret, Countess Attlee who opened Great Yarmouth’s Palace Casino in 2008.
