In the afternoon, a Children’s Military Drill is scheduled for 13:00, with music from the Esk Valley Big Band entertaining attendees from 14:45 to 15:45.
The day will conclude with a Sunset ceremony at 16:00, followed by a two-minute silence.
Beyond the main schedule, the event will feature various games and entertainment, including a tombola, Pickaflag, trampolines, a cake stall, Pirate Stocks, Splat the Rat, and Tin Can Alley.
Several associations will also be present, such as RAFA, The Para association, and The RBL (Royal British Legion).
