Royal Marines Band to Close Scarborough Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day celebrations to close with a special performance at Scarborough Spa

The Armed Forces Day national event celebrations on Saturday 25 June in Scarborough will continue into the evening at Scarborough Spa, with a special performance from the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Collingwood.

The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Collingwood is part of one of the world’s most versatile and entertaining military music organisations, the Royal Marines Band Service.

With a rich heritage and a programme encompassing everything from the traditional, soloists, pop and classics, there promises to be something for everyone.

The show starts at 7.30pm and will be an entertaining evening of diverse and enjoyable music, bringing the Armed Forces Day national event to a close.

The Armed Forces Day National Event Evening Concert has been made possible by sponsorship from Parkdean Resorts, one of the official partners for next month’s celebration.

Councillor Tony Randerson, Armed Forces Day national event champion for Scarborough Borough Council, said:

"What better way to round off what promises to be a spectacular Armed Forces Day than with the sounds of the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Collingwood in the glorious setting of Scarborough Spa.

"We're very excited to finally welcome the Armed Forces Day national event to Scarborough with a packed programme of events for people of all ages to enjoy.

"I want to say a special thank you to Parkdean Resorts UK, whose generosity in sponsoring this concert has allowed us to add the show to the day's festivities."

Steve Richards, Parkdean Resorts CEO, said:

“We are delighted to sponsor the Armed Forces Day National Event Evening Concert, performed by the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Collingwood.
