We have chosen this venue not only as it is a great open space, where we can bring the local community together, but also a poignant spot to honour and remember those that lost their lives when on 3rd May 1977, a Royal Air Force Canberra bomber was returning to its base at Wyton, when the pilot lost control and crashed into a row of houses, on Norfolk Road, Huntingdon.

We are inviting the Army, The Royal and Merchant Navy plus the Royal Air Force. There will be a representation from many of the different detachments and bases in Huntingdonshire and further afield. We are also delighted and honoured that our American counterparts will also be attending. We are also looking forward to welcoming Cadets from across the forces and the Volunteer Police Cadets. Careers advisors, volunteers, reservists, and the regulars from each force will be on hand for the public to chat to, they will also be showcasing and demonstrating the tools of their trade! Music will be provided by the armed forces and also bands performing on the stage. Stalls selling memorabilia and craft plus children’s entertainment.
