Whitby is hosting one of three co-ordinated flag raising events to mark the start of Armed Forces Week on Monday 20 June 2022

The parade has been organised as part of the national celebration, which is being held in the Scarborough Borough this year.

The programme for the event at Dock End is:

1030 hrs - Flag Raising. Second & Third Fanfare. Fly-over (single aircraft). Parade Dismiss
1045 hrs - Flag Raising Ceremony Finished.

The event will start with a Children's Parade featuring more than 150 school children. The parade will start at 9.45am in Pannett Park and heading down through town to Dock End for the flag raising ceremony just after 10am.

The children will be parading with handmade parade pieces including army patrol vehicles inspired by the Yorkshire Regiment, dazzle warships and a special series of pieces in remembrance of the First World War.

The young people’s version of the RAF Red Arrows team will be leading the parade.
