PEOPLE turned out in large numbers to show their support for The Yorkshire Regiment at a special parade.
The Regiment’s Freedom of the Borough Parade was held in Redcar as part of Armed Forces Week.
Civic dignitaries, including Redcar and Cleveland Mayor, Councillor Dennis Teasdale and the Vice-Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire, Peter Scrope, received the salute.
Crowds applauded as the parade as it continued down Redcar High Street and back through the town returning for a reception hosted by the Mayor.
Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland, Councillor Dennis Teasdale, said: “In difficult times, our Armed Services are always remarkably positive. It is a privilege and honour to welcome the Regiment.”
There will be another chance for the public to show their pride and enjoy fun, family entertainment at an Armed Forces Day event today.
