Fifth Whittlesey Armed Forces Weekend huge success

The event was voted a huge success by organiser Matt Page and his team of volunteers.

There were stalls, live music, and a four-day beer festival to mark the occasion.

Visitors were able to admire a number of military vehicles and sit back and watch military re-enactments.

A family fun dog show had been planned, but was sadly cancelled due to the hot weather.

Whittlesey Royal British Legion branch provided the Duke of York Military Band, which travelled from Dover to be at the event and perform for the appreciative crowds.

The event, which concluded with a Drumhead Service, was raising money for armed forces charities as well as the local cadet forces.
