Scarborough National Armed Forces Day Event a "Tough Act to Follow"

More than one hundred thousand people are thought to have attended Saturday's National Armed Forces Day event in Scarborough.

RAF parachutists, the Red Arrows and an RAF Typhoon all put on aerial displays and a multitude of military vehicles, vessels and parades were on show.

Former Mayor Tom Fox has been involved in the local armed forces day event for over a decade, he thinks this year's was the best yet.

MP for Scarborough and Whitby - Sir Robert Goodwill - was pleased with the turn out.

Sir Robert says the event was witnessed by a number of dignitaries.

The Joint Military commander for the day was Commodore Phil Waterhouse.

He says the response from local people was amazing and thinks next year's hosts - Falmouth - have a tough act to follow.
