Thousands of people are set to descend on the town on Saturday for an action packed day to marked Armed Forces Day including aerobatic displays.
The contribution of service men and women, reservists, veterans and their families across North Yorkshire will be recognised during the annual Armed Forces Day celebrations.
The one-day free event, which will run from 11am until 5pm will see thousands of people enjoy the sights and sounds of a variety of aerobatic displays in the skies above Scarborough’s South Bay.
